I love mine, these things are like gold. The rear bar however, is like platinum!

Yeah, nicest decoration piece on the car IMO. But TCS makes a replica TRD rear strut brace that might be worth looking into, only $230 (was $200 not a month ago).

Wanted the rear as well but only got the front but no complaints!

Coincidentally enough I will be getting the TCS after finding your post on MR2 forums LOL.

Good stuff! Pics when you're done.

I wanted to buy one of those TCS braces for the wall in the bedroom but the g/f nixed that plan (can you blame her?). I'm trying for the bathroom as it's advertised not to rust. Hee hee. Image

New lip! Fitment looks a little weird but it's good enough (for now). Will attempt to fix it as much as possible when I find time aka when I'm not lazy. Also attempted to paint it with Dalton earlier today but didn't go as planned. Will have another shot at it tomorrow!

Huge thanks to kakucaekz, entrax and Ms. AW11 for getting it for my birthday :D

Image I think what ssjmr2 is trying to relay to you in a delicate manner is that it looks great, but might not match the rest of the car's current body lines.

I'd recommend some matching side skirts. If not that, some better rear spacing out back to push those wheels out for more balance w/ that prominent front.

Yeah just to clarify, I had no intentions of being offensive there. I'm just getting excited for the winter season. :xmas:

I'm sure it will flow well once you paint it as you mentioned you plan to do so.
Are you matching it with the body colour or sticking with black? It's hard to guess seeing you have a blacktop. :P

Already looking at side skirts. Greddy ones specifically. As for the spacers, I'm going to upgrade to a 17" set (with the proper offset of course) in the future so I'm going to skip that step :)

No worries, none offense taken LOL. Actually took it as a compliment!

Keeping it black for now. entrax painted it yellow the other day but the yellow was like 50 shades off so I just went back to black. You know what they say, once you go black you can't go back LOL. I'm planning to get it painted around spring time though.

And no Dalton, I am not going to paint it purple. Unless you paint yours rainbow.

Soooo.. last couple of days has been interesting.

- Brought my car out of hibernation for a couple of days
- Get a VI on the first day
- Went to get my VI done on the second day but guy at Canadian Tire told me to go to VPD since I shouldn't have gotten it
- VI gets thrown out
- No sound coming out of my speakers. Radio is working though. Not using the amp, directly wired my speakers to the head unit

"Daytime running lights are fog lights" on your VI? That's what I was required to do when I imported my deuce from Utah, otherwise it wouldn't pass inspection. Guess that's changed. :?

I have yellow tint (well I removed it to pass inspection but no one even looked at my car) which is what got his attention and luckily he wrote "Daytime running lights are fog lights" on the Notice and Order which is why it was thrown out.
