Default Chassis brace?

Does anyone know if anyone makes an "x" brace for the ITR? If so, who and how much $$$.

The ITR has a roof, unlike the S2000. It doesn't need one. For what it would cost you in weight, you would be better off with a roll bar or cage (welded in) to increase chassis stiffness.

I just saw the ITR Legends video and saw that the '96 ITR came with brace in front of the radiator that was square similar to the strut bar. Anyone know anything about that?

All of them should have that front brace.

A few problems with an x-brace on this car. It's already pretty low, so adding an x-brace would probably cause much scrapage. Plus an x-brace won't contribute nearly as much rigidity as even a moderate 6 point cage. Yes, yes, the cage will get in the way, blah, blah. Well, it'll also be in the way between your head and the ground, should you choose to rotate the car on the wrong axis. You could always leave the door bars out if it's a daily driver.
