Just now getting around to uploading pics of the front and rear strut tower brace I installed on my Avenger. The brace is actually a stock item on the 2011 Avengers and all of us older model owners have been picking it up for next to nothing and adding it to ours.
I ordered two and modified the ends of one to fit the rear, though I think it would be easier to just fab one up from scratch. I just wanted the braces to match. They are flat black when you get them so I color matched them to the car and added the decals.
Definately adds some noticable stiffness to the chassis when cornering. With the brace and aftermarket springs my Avenger feels ten times better in the corner and there is minimal body roll. Just need to upgrade from the stock tires and I'll be ready to take some real hard corners.
