The cowl-to brace extends in the front-and-rear direction of the vehicle, has a front end fixed on a cowl panel placed in a farther front side of the vehicle than the instrument panel reinforcement pipe, and includes a joint portion to be joined with the instrument panel reinforcement pipe, between the front end and a rear end. The floor brace extends in an up-and-down direction of the vehicle, and has a lower end fixed on a floor tunnel and an upper end fixed to the rear end of the cowl-to brace. The joint portion of the cowl-to brace is formed in a ring shape to be fitted and inserted into the instrument panel reinforcement pipe.
