Convertible X Brace

I acquired a vert X brace and it's and it is a little beat up. My question is : The front part is mostly straight or flat. The rear sections are bowed toward floor before it try to remove bowing are they supposed to be flat or bowed? Thanks

When I had my 95 vert, it was a royal pain to change the trans fluid. I had to drop the X brace to do it. When you put it in you have to be careful because it's near the exhaust and it will make noise if it's touching.
Good luck with it.
