Hey, I found a website called JimFab.com. They make custom strut bars for cars for only $60 apiece. You could get a front and back for the same price as buying one. I think I would paint one black if I got it, though. They don't look that pretty.

everyone knows that are is NO group buy on this right? i just suggested that if they do make a custom bar for someone on the boards and it is good quality, that they do offer group buys. Even if a group buy happens, it wont be for a very long time... so just no one get there hopes up too soon.

sorry bout the last post, just didnt want peoples hopes to get up...
but theres bad news; i emailed the guy and here is what he sad: email: i was wondering if your company could make a custom front strut bar (2 or 3 point) for a 94-99 toyota celica. I am part of a celica forum (6gc.net and celica.net) and know that many of the members there would be interested. reply: thanks for your questions i would love to help you guys out, however i am having trouble keeping up on the honda parts. hopefully sometime in the future i will have the time. thanks again-jim hondas screw us over again! but maybe if people keep emailing him, he'll try and get us in earlier -------------------- Its Orville's Celica, i just drive it... |

Man that pisses me off, Hondas get way too much attention, I say we make our own company that makes nothing but 6gc parts and nothing else, but, that takes a lot of $$$$$.

If we let him know there's enough demand for the part, he'll probably be willing to make it.

Okay, here's the deal. I'm gonna ask this guy when a target date would be, if he would need a donor car of some sort, etc.. all the questions, i'm going to try to work this out, this will probably be my first group buy.
The positive thing about that, would be that it's not like you're gonna be dumping 1000's of dollars in to this. I'll get some price quotes, and all that other wonderful jazz. I will keep you guys updated on this. Hopefully we'll get matching bars for under $150 or something. I REALLY hope this works out good. |

Notice that he said he would like to make things for the new celica, don't suppose anybody mentioned what year celica they had when they emailed him?
