i got the trd strut bar from my friend but could not install it in front because of my I/C piping. so after 2.5 hours of cutting and modifying i finally got it to fit.

notice the gapping issue. i just used washers. 3 on bottom. 1 on top. sat very sturdy.


i had to cut the strut bar like hell around the brace. i had to remove the targa frame assembly. i also had to cut the shock tower a little. i didnt see all this cutting as a problem since theres not any pressure at all in these areas. any input would help me. i hope this is only gains for the car as far as performance as it did in looks. thanks

has anyone ever asked trd to make a matching rear strut bar for us?
btw, it looks ok. i think it would look better if the bar was more flush (meaning straight across the rear instead of arched up). if that was possible...
anyways congrats, you did a great job. def. one of a kind.

Interesting install. Let us know if it makes a difference.

ill take some pics of the shock tower so you can see how i cut it. i actually like the way it archs up. the only reason i did it was to add a little flavor to the system thats going it. im also looking to put in a cage. if anyone can direct me to a place that can do it that would be great. or maybe even a bolt on. thanks

Can you show us pics with the rear carpet down. I want to see how it looks with carpet around the mounts.

 

[southeastsupra]

nice.......give us more info if it makes a difference or not

 

[Urban Customs]

this is how i had to cut the shock tower. i also had to grind down the targa stud assembly. you can see that on the top left where its messy.

always wondered if there was any difference between front and rear braces apart from the mounting brackets..?
