Garage Star fender braces

[garageSTAR]

Anybody interested in fender braces for their NA & NB Miata? We are 80% finished with design and test fitting. Both braces weigh roughly 6 pounds. Fender braces will be powder coated. Price will be around $200 or less shipped within the USA. If you have any questions or interested please email me at garagestar@gmail.com


This a prototype design we did on Rus's car.

Notice any differences with the brace installed?

[Skomee]

Is this the equivalent of the Frog Arms?

No kidding. I get excited every time I see a thread from garageStar I haven't seen yet.

Thank you for all the kind words guys! I will have more photos as soon as the finally design is done. Doing some testing tomorrow on the braces at Sonoma drift. The braces made a big improvement on steering response according to the feedback Rus gave me. I've owned a few sets of Tuckin99 braces on past Miata and I can tell the difference drive with and without them.

ohhhh there's the inspiration lol. with the quality of your products, sign me up sir!

[druz]

I've been thinking about making some but for that kind of price I'd probably just buy them. Looks good!

[concealer404]

I have a set of Tuckin' 99 braces. I notice a bit more stiffness in the front end, and turn-in feels crisper. Note that I also have the FM butterfly brace and a roll bar. If these come in at the price point they will be a good deal in my opinion.

In!

I want this, BAD. :P

I think if you add another bar to close off that triangle or make it an "A" on its side. It'd stiffen up that brace even more. But, I think you'd definitely have some interest if the price point undercuts the Frog Arms from Boss Frog.

[garageSTAR]

That was what I was doing today =)

Any updates? Would love to test these out after a roll bar install.

Hi Ken,
I'm interested too if the shipping to France is not too high. Put me on the list
Every part I got from Garage Star are great, except the NB ITB adapter plate I'm still waiting but it's not really under your control

It looks to me like Frog Arms would be better...but if the price is right, I could see these selling better than those.

There's no real magic going on. The garagestar ones should and I imagine will give exactly the same benefit as the BF version I have. I really like that Ken is coming out with all these great products for our community. These should sell nicely. Props to him.

The Frog Arms connect the top and bottom of the door hinge. Seems like there's more meat to really tie things together.

I'm not putting GS down. I have his license plate bracket installed on my car. I just have an opinion, that's all. I'm looking forward to the final product.

[garageSTAR]

The design you see is not final. Top and bottom will be connected. I don't have updates because I am still test fitting.

[bedheadben]

These are looking good! I can't wait for the final product!
