Tower Brace

Does anyone know of tower braces available for an 02 X50 with the Bose Sound System and CD Changer?
Thanks

The question is..... why would anyone put a front stress bar in??? When the car was redesigned all of that area was reinforced. They did such a good job that even in the latest race car roll cage (GT3 RSR) they don't find that it's needed. I saw some test using 10 foot beems to twisted the front end and they put a cross bar on just to see if it did anything.... it made "ZERO" differences when twisting the car with the beam on a flat plate. It's possible that a rear one could help but I haven't seen any test on that. I do know that the race cars tear the rear spot welds appart with a little time but, it still isn't clear if the x bar would prevent that from happening.

Installing a brace on the front is a waste of money. They from the factory with a tower brace.
