They used to be the exclusive SSR distributor in the US...they got bigger so start manufacturering their own line of muffler/strut bar/intakes...just like every other company. I have not personally seen the strut bar so couldnt tell you more but i am assuming it'll look like every other strut bar out there....although almost any strut bar gets the job done...but you want soemhting that gets it done and good looking right?

I hate to burst peoples bubbles, but front strut braces are much more effective on McPherson struts than on link type front suspensions. Your shocks aren't going to move nearly as much as a car with McPherson struts. Strut bars still help to increase rigidity on link suspension cars like the G20, but don't expect the major enhancement that happens in McPherson strut cars.
Strut bars were originally developed for cars with McPherson struts: where the upper strut mount has to deal with most of the lateral force. In the link cars, like the G20, much of that lateral force is taken up in the upper links, not the strut and spring assembly as in a McPherson strut car.
I'm not saying that front strut bars don't help rigidity, I am just saying that they dont help as much in a car like the G20 than say a BMW (where the front shock towers actually can lean in .25" or so after 150,000 miles of use)

Just to take a poll: how many people had a strut brace that didn't fit?

About 33% of all BMW owners that buy front strut braces, have fitment issues on older (6 years plus and I dont mean 1/16" or so, I mean 1/4" to 1/2"). Older Porsches are the same way. This shows that these cars really need them.

yeh, taht's very true in regards that the link type front suspension will not benefit THAT much as oppose to strut type suspenion....i tried it on and off on the track few months ago and with the bar on, highspeed cornering can be performed a little easier giving you more confident. it also will stiffen up the ride a little bit as well.
but hey, most people just want their cars to look nice and in that regards, it helps!!

yep, my intentions are to make the car look cool, so that helps. yah, G20's sus probably won't seem much benefit from the front tower bar epecially on a street car.
