Unmodified panel laying in its approx. location, but cannot bolt-down because it interferes with the brace:

Trimmed a bit more after a test-fit, then cleaned the edge up and put some rubber trim over the edge and installed:

I have a 2008 with auto trans. Will all the braces fit this car (thinking front brace of standard not used on auto's????)

[RichardD154]

Does the NC brace kit fit the automatic cars. I think some front braces don't fit and the auto doesn't even come with one under the trans from Mazda that the manual trans has. is that correct?
Thanks
