2001 Targa Z51 6_speed
Anyone know what the red supports are. They appear to be pretty beefy and not sure what function/purpose they are for. Owned the car for three years and have always wondered if they are part of the Z51 package. I appreciate any help.

Clearly, you don't need those....better sent them to me for proper disposal.

No, I asked Santa and he said you've been bad. The OP should send it to me since I'm nice
