wow. nice. where did you get it from and how much did you pay for it ?

[nyoneway]

I know it's JDM... but is there any other reason why it's so expensive?

Its JDM. Plus its stiff as hell.

Wonder how well it fits. Someone pointed out in another post that it would either not fit because of the brake fluid reservoir cap, or would at least totally block access to it. Otherwise, I really like that bar, especially since it totally avoids the battery terminals. :)

Pretty nice how it goes away from the battery terminals.

[blitz-gts 6]

nice. hate how it bends though. but its good that it does!

[RichGT]

The purpose is to make the bar closest to the firewall. The purpose of that is making the bar almost stronger than having the bar straight like the Tanabe or APR etc.

To tell you the truth, I only bought it because of the name. But now I hear its one of the best for performanec. So I think I made a good investment.

[yellowGTS]

Wonder how it will look on a GTS. Would be a great addition.

Congrats on the purchase

[RichGT]

It would look the same since the chassis the same.

I paid $100 for my APR.

Works the same right?

[DopeCelicaGT]

I paid $100 for my APR too but I like th edesign of the Carbing better. Plus after installing my friends I have noticed that I have the same noises he does, except I never turned my radio tdown so I never noticed it until now!

Did you try greasing the end plates like I said in the other post? I had no noises from the bar after that.

[RichGT]
