I thought XV had gone out of business, nice to see they're still around they have some nice products. I had the XV radiator support on my Duster and loved it. I haven't tried the fender braces.

I thought US Cartool changed the design of the under fender braces, and now they look more like XV's set-up?
I installed US Cartool's complete kit in my '68 convertible. I also welded the shock towers to the inner fenders, tied the front frame rails together with the US Cartool kit and made my own Monte Carlo brace. The combination of all three components completely eliminated cowl shake in my convertible. It still had a bit of cowl shake without the Monte Carlo bar.
The kit transformed how my car feels and drives. It's amazing actually.
