It looks interesting, but I hate to be the nay-sayer. A front strut brace is purely cosmeting, unless you're trying to tie in some stability to the subframe or the suspension pivots using a strut bar.

A basic strut bar in the S2000 isn't going to make a difference because of the big beam that goes between the frame rails just underneath intake box.

Why are the three lower bars bent? Structurally speaking wouldn't the piece be stiffer if they were straight?

You know, like this:

Nice work! Maybe make another one and on the passenger side match the driver's side where it rises up, then go straight across the bay. that way it would look something like /--------\ and still clear the intake. Right now, it's more _______/----\

Keep in mind you can't advertise these for sale.... for those people asking about him selling them unless he is a sponsor.
