Question Front Strut Tower Bar

I stumbled upon this on eBay, has anyone already installed one of these? It looks like it is installed underneath the front cowl cover. I'm not sure if it has to be permanently removed or not.

I have used strut tower braces in other cars over the years, most recently a Mazdaspeed 3 I owned. I remember putting one on a PT Cruiser I owned and it absolutely tightened up the handling. I haven't seen any reviews from other drivers. This aluminum unit looks nice but the shipping fee is outrageous. I guess I will wait to see if anyone else produces a product like this. I don't mind being the first one to try/review one, I just need to find one that gets my attention.

Anyone else out there tried/owns one?

Seen it also pretty hefty price for it though despite the fact that its off-brand. I’ll probably try my accord’s PRL strut tower and see if it fits.

Please do tell about whether your Accord struts-tower brace fits our RDX…..They have made a difference in handling.

Reviving this.... Is there an options for the 3G RDX? I have always had them and it helps for sure.

I have reached out to PRL about just chassis bracing overall and haven't gotten to far with it but they should be able to tweak existing items to work on the RDX maybe if they see enough people asking about it. I think this would help with the creaking on the panoramic roof.

I traded my 3G RDX for an Integra A-Spec TECH, so I never got to put one on it. I do have a PRL strut tower bar on my Integra and am pleased with it.
