Looks like a good replica, i'm not sure how well it will hold up though. Also it is pretty costly for a replica asr brace

imo obx products are junk. gave them a try on a couple things and it was just a waste of time and money. and they don't back their products. pm me if you want the details.

looks like a pretty good copy. cant really find a difference in design between the obx and my asr. from the pics...you cant get a really good idea of the thickness. the price seems steep for a replica. and it would look better if they left out the OBX R engraved into the brace.

bleh.. just get ASR if you need a subframe brace (like if you have an EK chassis). If you're short on cash and have an EG or DC chassis, the Beaks kit or even the BSQ kit will work 100% fine. Just not quite as bling bling.... but bling is for ricers and we don't have any of those around here do we

Those asr braces are easy to copy Ive seen 3 knock off now including this one. Im sorry $200 bucks they ask is a bit to much just for the ASR piece. Its two cnc'd pieces and one piece of 1/4" alum plate. You could make in ur garage with a band saw and drill press.

Minus the nice cnc'd center section tho
