Looks good. You should paint it a different colour. Looks weird with the red.

Probably better due to the fact that its a 4 point bar. It doesn't go just from strut tower to strut tower it also attaches to the firewall.

This one doesn't replace the OEM bar, it is an add-on

Meh... The Cusco one is beefier and looks better in my opinion. Still fits in addition to the factory 4pt.

Have you driven a TL without one and then with one? It makes a world of difference. The front end feels a lot more solid over all surfaces and cornering. I sound like a broken record... but we need one (or two) for the rear.

Cusco. Mr. Heeltoe. I got the upper and lower bars from him. Snapped off the lower bar -- will reorder.
