Bent my Rick's X-brace :(
On the way back home I hit this little rock on the road(size of two big fist).
Since my X-brace is LOWEST point of my underbody, that rock hit my X-brace(right at the middle)
Now center part of my x-brace is slightly bent(center part went up about 0.5inch) and I dont know what should I do.
Do you think I can straighten it back??
Should I get new brace?
Since I'm near Japan..which would be goood JDM X-brace? Cusco? Spoon?

Will Cusco front lower brace would protect my oilpan too?
Seems like it doesnt go much low as other X-bars.
but I think...
Oil pan is located higher than lowest point of the bumper, so for some object to hit oilpan..shouldnt it hit the bumper first?
That rock didnt hit my bumper at all, so without my x-brace i wouldnt have any damage. no?

2000cc-3000cc =38%
over 3000cc is..42%!!!!!!!!
No wonder Korea has LOWEST import car % in the world.
Less than 5% is imports
