UMI Performance, Inc. is pleased to announce the availability of our new G-body front frame reinforcement brace.

The UMI frame reinforcement brace takes the place of the popular “Grand Prix Bar” and also the stock frame reinforcements. No drilling is required and hardware is included. This brace weighs in at 9-1/2 lbs with included hardware and is recommended for street, strip, auto-x or road racing. The UMI P/N 3053 is available with tough red or black powder coat and is designed and manufactured with pride in Philipsburg, PA – USA. The UMI P/N 3053 is used on our popular G-Body Green Machine.

Do you have a weight comparison on your front brace compared to the factory pieces?

I asked this earlier, but no answer yet. I have a front airdam ducting so I was wondering how huch space is there between the bar and the radiator support base. Very nice looking piece.

Sc&c does a brace with the cross bar moved back to center of bars to clear most duct work

I believe Ramey said it weighs 9lbs, versus the stock bars which weigh 6lbs.

Just got an email from UMI today, they are shipped. Damn I need my new tires before I installed everything. They are back order.

Wonder why they are priced so much higher than the SC&C brace?
