Cool 2008 Optima 4Cyl - Strut Tower Brace

First of all I want to point out that I've seen the 2011 Optima and it is absolutely HIDEOUS - inside and out. The profile of that driver's side dash reminds me of something out of a late 60s - early 70s domestic, and that C-pillar arrangment is a travesty. And those front seats - they look like something I've seen in a bathroom(It's called a toiletseat). Even the 2001-05 Optima looked better than the 2011, in and out. I can't speak for it's build quality - I'm sure Kia has that nailed - I have no complaints, or squeaks, or rattles, about my Optima!

I hope it still handles as well or better than my '08, or at least handles better than it looks!

Now to the point: My '08 Optima actually outhandled my '05 Chevy Malibu, still does. But I'l looking for just a little edge. Has anyone here found a strut tower cross-brace specific to the Optima/Magentis, or a generic that will fit without much fuss?

Suggestions are appreciated.
