It's an upper-front strut tower brace from Eurosport Tuning.

Don't know about your C70, Ed, but my convertible has WAY too much body flex. A similar strut brace in my '90 780 Turbo made a world of difference (and that's a hardtop), so I'm hoping for a bit more solid ride with it installed. I'm hoping to take delivery and get it installed sometime next week.

Installation should be easy. It's a simple thing, and everything you need to work with is easily accessible simply by opening the hood. The only thing which might present a challenge is the fuse box on the driver's side strut tower.

I'll actually be putting in front and rear IPD anti-sway bars this weekend. A bit trickier, that install, but I expect to have it done in under three hours. I realized last week that the IPD anti-sway bars I bought last year for my 850 (but never installed before I sold the 850) are also a fit for the C70. And a C70 Convertible needs the bars far more than even an 850....
