Strut brace

Hi guys,
I am new here. This is my first post.
I have a question, what are my options if I wanted to fit a front tower strut brace on a CLK500 coupe? What brands do you suggest?
What about the prices?
Who has done such a mod to his car? Pictures would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

The one I saw in installed on C class, so I would assume CLK would have one also, same chassis.


Did you find out which model they make for the strut brace??
