Gen6 Did I get ripped off?

I have a 2011 Camry SE V6 and i realized that mine doesnt have a strut tower bar.... Are all SE's supposed to have them? I've seen a few that look factory but im not sure whether they're aftermarket or not

Here's one for example:

you have a strut bar, but the one pictured is not it..... your OEM is a thin black bar attached with the strut hardware.

You gan get that one on E-Bay...

There are others like the blue/silver one from Megan Racing (~$100) and the white one from Ultra Racing (~$150).

They don't do much or anything really at all to start with... If you want to feel a difference get a RSB.

Yea i know RSB is the best bang for your buck. What do you think about the front/back lower braces by Ultra Racing?

They'll stiffen it up even more, but unless you're tracking, i don't see the point in spending the cash on them.

I'm looking into getting them, if not in the spring, the fall.

Well I'm definitely going for the RSB first and if I'm not satisfied then I'll start stiffening up the rest of the chassis
