Found this on the C63 posts. Anyone know if this will fit the C300/C350?
Real expensive

I like this one better especially if they offer the Carbon Fiber version. Price is better too. I guess they can't call it the "Worlds first aftermarket W204/X204 Strut Tower Brace" anymore since it is only a prototype.

More than double the price of the other one, but I guess once you get the M-B Art one wrapped in CF, it'll probably be around $700 piece. Three piece also makes it less strong than a single piece. It is sexy though I admit, but it's also a finished product that has already been CF wrapped.

X3 and 2012 C coming soon
I love it. I like the fact that it can be disassembled and there is no base plate like the other. Looks like the bay seal is intact on one side as well.
I'd like a nice flat billet design.

I posted new pics of my brace in the strut tower brace thread. I have been testing it on a C350 this evening and will be doing more tomorrow. The reason I went with a plate design is because it locks all 3 mounting bolts together which greatly reduces the chance that it will flex. I went with a one piece welded design because it is far superior to a mutli-piece style which has several area where it can flex and break. I have finalized the dimensions and the end user will no longer have to remove the rubber engine bay seal, can be seen in the new pics.
