not much, it already has small braces attached to the frame & strut tower. the factory Acura TL-S version is the same price, around $100.
The 5th gen 4-cylinder doen't have any brace from the factory.

If you are talking about the strut bar that goes accrossthe engine, I was pretty sure you were suposed to jack up the two front tires so they are not touching the ground then put the strut bar on, let the car down and your done.
Are you sure about that? When the shop did the my bar, they didn't raise the car. When we did my friend's Civic, we didn't do that either. I don't even recall the instructions says that.
