take the strut tower brace off a lexus es250. it bolts right on and looks original. it made a difference in my opinion. i got mine out of a wrecking yard.

I got one of those off of ebay and I personally think it made a huge difference in how the car feels, more precise, less floaty compared to my other camry which doesnt have one. Their is one problem that I have with the ebay bar if you dont align the bar correctly then it'll start rubbing up aginst the hood and it'll end up leaving a small indentention on the bar. If you can find an es250 bar cheap then I'd just go with that but I couldn't find one in my area so I just went with the ebay one. Hope this helps
