Neon Strut Brace Options

[sapperk]

does anyone have close up pics of a neon strut brace mounted on there 6Gen Celi..

[Hanyo]

ta da!!!

yup there it is.. nothing much to look at

[sapperk]

Thats exaclly the kind of pic i was looking for. Drilling my holes now, i wanted to see if mine line up like everyone elses. One hole is reall close to the side, just like yours. Also i didnt know if the bar was to the front or the rear, i assumed the front.

Thank You, did anyone put the factory v-shape one back on? I think im gonna.

My Celica didn't come with the factotry V one. I did pick one up and try to put them both on. They both don't fit together on the strut top. It is one or the other.

Hanyo, clean your engine

longer bolts

[Batman722]

won't fit. It is impossible. No matter what. No jive

[playr158]

nothing is impossible if you think about it
or use thinner bolts on top

nope. impossible unless you modify the stock one to make it sit flat. Which means cut or grind a lot of metal. That is if you want to put the neon one on top which would be your only option because the neon bar is in the way for the actual V bar. as pictured


got a stock one ? look at it and look at Hanyo's pic. then maybe, just maybe, you might understand...

if you don't have the stock one or seen it detailed enough to know what I'm talking about, then why talk...
