There are a couple of strut bar braces that are made for the GT.

Race & Street for example has the Freedom Bar for Turbos'

PT Cruiser Strut Bar - Freedom Design Turbo Chrome: Race and Street

BTG has a really good looking bar for the Turbo, but a little expensive...

I think I read in the turbo section that you can easily retrofit the n/a strut bars to work with the gt's. I think the thread is fairly current, just browse around in the turbo section, I think under the suspension area.

The Pictures Look Like it is the same strut bar that I have and fit is not a problem snce it is offset slightly and not directly over the intake but closer to the firewall, I have had it for almost 3 years now.

I didn't realize there were so many posts on strut braces there, took me a bit to find again. I was short on time before as I was doing stuff outside and just in the house for a quick break.

The strut bar fits excellently. It's a tight fit, but I know it's not going anywhere!

Great product and I can actually feel the difference!
