You have some dealers around there.

Buy on ebay with free shipping. If you don't want to do that, Ultra Racing has a US website that will ship for reasonable cost (I went through the motions and it was $38 to ship the mid-brace to Maryland). Or wait until Black Friday when they do free shipping.

What Would Glenn Danzig Do
For what it's worth, I didn't think the RB install was difficult at all. Took maybe 20 min. I thought it stiffened up the rear a good amount. A lot more than the UB that's for sure.

it's for sale now, not bad to just replace the stamp steel. the aluminum is 4mm thick..wonder if it can act as a brace vs unibrace UB...covered underbody is nice tho..i already have r32 undertray and verus diffuser and TDI rear control arm deflectors

As I posted in the "What did you do to your car to day" thread, the RB is a huge improvement in the back end. I really think the RB is an under appreciated piece of kit. Also, the install was so easy, especially if you undo your exhaust hangers.
I would also note that the ECS brace appears to bolt up in different locations than the Unibrace RB (the RB ties the control arms together and to the subrframe), so you could probably run this brace with the RB if you want.

I just installed this brace over the weekend. Fitment wasn't perfect, was a little bit of a pain to get everything lined up, but for $145 it's a bargain. You won't be able to run a UB with this, but I am running this in conjunction with my RB and a eurosport hatch brace. It doesn't interfere with my verus rear diffuser either. The powder coat is well done and overall seems well built.

I assume it'll be because the tech will be too lazy to remove the tunnel brace to peek at the exhaust. At least that's what the hope would be.

Yep exactly the tech will not remove any covering to check pipes.
It just doesn't happen, probably because its a huge time chunk
I know some guys (on other platform) who have full custom turbo back setups and have no problem with visual because the tech cant see it.
Same reason why aftermarket DVs in our cars usually dont get pinged in smog.
