What year of an accord do ya think?? It doesnt look like it would fit any accords I know of personally 97 on down...
Might fit a toyota of some sort, or even mazda.. Maybe type the brand into google, and see whatcha get.

 

Just checked it out.. The only ones I found were for a civic and acura..

That company went under in 2003 so that "Invidia" company bought the name rights and got new entire lineup. So I cant find any info but I was told that this was an Accord 4cyl.

If anyone can match the holes in their Accords and confirm... I would appreciate it.

 

looks very low quality anyway.

From what can be seen in the photos, it looks to be a rather well designed tower brace. Note the substantial thickness of the metal plate used in the tower attachment brackets, and how well the loads will be spread between the upper two tower studs (upper as viewed in the photos) with substantial triangular 'webs' spreading the loads over a wide base on the 'crescent' flange and into the tower top. This all means that the webs and the crescent flange won't easily flex as loads are passed into it, which is the main problem with most lesser quality tower braces.

The only important thing you can't see in the photos is how 'deep' the actual brace bar (tube) dimension is (we can see how wide it is). The bar is obviously oval in section, but if the narrowest dimension isn't great enough then the bar won't be very rigid in compression.

Note that with this brace, due to how the vertical 'webs' are located on the crescent flange between the two upper stud holes, that you could cut off the section of crescent flange in which the lower stud hole is drilled and make almost no difference to the rigidity of the brackets (not that you would). Nearly all attachment stiffness is sourced from the upper two stud attachment points, which should be perfectly adequate.
