While I had the subframe and tension rod brackets out, I went to work on them. I made the tension rod brackets into my own DIY Nismo power brace.
I added a cross bar out of some 1-1/4 x .120wall DOM tubing
Some braces out of some 16ga, formed, with dimples for some rigidity.
I then used my angle iron rail and a bench vice to make some saddle gussets to spread the attachment area of the cross tube.
Then I sent both parts out for powder, JDM charcoal grey...I was thinking black, then I saw JDM on the card and couldn't help myself.
