2007 was a blur.

Feel it or not, I'm just happy to know that my rockers are so strong I could probably do a 50/50 grind and not dent them.

I mostly think the conspiracy theory is more awesome than insulting or hilarious.

Honestly, you probably won't find more OEM applications of this technology due to a number of reasons: potential for moisture buildup, the fact that you could probably just design a stronger member like OEMs have the power to do, deployment in the factory, access to voids, etc. The aftermarket/tuner might be where this stays simply because it's really geared towards retrofitting. Again, if the OEM wanted a stronger rocker/pillar/etc then they can just design one. The RX8 is an interesting case because it was probably easier to just fill it than to redesign the crossmember. Now, why Nissan just adds a ton of braces to S15 Spec-R's and Nismo 350Z's instead of foaming, I dunno.

Want to debate something else? I think fender braces are the shit! ...and GO!
