Are there any good diagonal braces for 04+? The ones on ZZP are listed for 97-03 only and there's nothing on WBS. Mine have somehow become bent so I'm looking for some good replacements.

Well the 04+ ones fit on a 97-03 so I don't see why the 97+ won't work on the 04, but there might be a reason I don't know of. The cross braces are really support for the front if you get in an accident, handling wise they don't do much if anything at all. They make shiny ones you can get on 3800performamce.com
And they are a little bent from the factory that you don't always notice at first, maybe toss up a pic so we can see if its a real bend or if its supposed to be there

They are supposed to look like that. Those bends help the hood fold up in an accident preventing it from entering the passenger compartment and taking your head off. You can polish or paint them, but leave them where they are.

They both have a bend in approximately the same place on the bottom, so I'm assuming those are the factory bends you're talking about. The one on the passenger side has what looks to be a big dent in the top though as well, which I don't recall being there. I also tried getting a few pics, but it's dark out so it didn't really work out. Looks like I'll just be getting the cross-body strut braces.

Don Rome makes some nice replacements. Billet aluminum.

On the tubular ones I do believe there is a dent that doesn't look like its supposed to be there too, but it is.
