I think there's some confusion here as to what I'm referring to a "strut tower brace" as, Porsche calls is a "suspension cross-brace". The GT3 Cup Car does show the brace in the last picture and it's the same as what's in the Boxster. It's the black bar that the Moton reservoir is mounted to. It ties the firewall to the strut tower and helps to support it. It doesn't look like your Schnell strut tower brace because it doesn't go straight across between the towers, but instead ties them to the firewall. The brace I added then ties to these two suspension cross-braces directly together.
