ECS Tuning Billet Aluminum Rear Tunnel Brace Red Anodized - MQB

The ECS Tuning Billet Tunnel Brace for the modern day MQB chassis replaces the thin stamped steel brace installed from the factory. The substantial added thickness and width ensures a more rigid connection to both sides of the tunnel. The chassis brace is CNC machined out of 6061-T6 billet aluminum and beautifully anodized in your choice of gloss red or gloss black to offer both great looks and durability.
