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.

Here's the email I sent the guy in the first place :


QUOTE
Hello, I'm a dedicated celica owner, and reader of 6gc.net / celica.net message boards.   We recently discovered your site, and i've been told you were having trouble keeping up on honda parts, so you couldn't fab these bars for the 6th gen (94-99) celica.

I noticed that you didn't have any toyota parts listed on your site?  Do you think you would ever produce Toyota parts, for celica's/mr-2's & what not? 

Over on celica.net / 6gc.net , we have a lot of swappers that would probably snap up some good motor mounts (5s-FE, 7a-FE, 3s-GTE, 4a-gze) and a lot who would dig on those strut bars.

The alternatives we face regarding suspension :

Cusco / Jspeed / C-One 2-3 point bars - average about $150 a pop AT LEAST, not including the $50 shipping we'd have to pay to get it imported from japan. 

So far, on 6gc.net, your website has generated 145 views, and 9 people are already interested in a strut bar.   I imagine posting it on celica.net (about 8000 registered members) would generate even more buzz.

Just a heads up for ya, keep up the good work!


There.. That's what I sent the guy, so no, there is no confusion. He understands the 6th gen part. As for the 5th/7th gens, i'm not sure.. I imagine it wouldn't be too far of a strech for him to produce those as well. If there's a market for some 5ths, (which I hope to generate off of celica.net forums) he'll probably make those as well. I'm gonna call this dude this weekend when I've got some time and really start diggin on this info. I'll keep you guys updated.
