It's hard to tell from that pic where the mounting points are - but I don't see that thing adding any noticeable rigidity. Seems more like an appearace item.

Maybe they're trying to triangulate the B pillar to the floor rail. IMO it doesn't look like it helps that much.

well it looks like it mounts to the b-pillar and then to the floor which in turn should stop the b-pillar from flexing. and it looks sweet too.
i think that after you have done upper and lower strut bars front and rear, and front and rear sway bars, tie rods, camber plates, control arms and a middel stress bar i think the the b-pillar bar would finish up the rigitity issue quite nicely.

If it were a larger tube with a straight shot from the pillar to the floor I may believe it's function.... this looks like a blue coat hanger with a bend where it should be straight.
Unless there is some hidden engineering magic, I'm going to have to stick with my original verdict - appearance mod.

Sorry, I'm not convinced. You can spend the $200 and let us know. Heh.
