"Under Brace bars are an excellent way of increasing underbody rigidity, they will reduce body flex while cornering and will obtain more responsive handling characteristics." The above statment just copy and paste from some other site, not my writing.
NOTE:
Please have your own judgement on how well the enhancement of handling after the installation of this brace.
I really don't have any spec of having faster lap on track, or better cornering...
So, if u dibs on it... pls don't blame me for buying a crap kinda things later on...

I know I still owe you for the lid, let me get on that! I take it that this just bolts right up, and hopefully won't be too noticeable.

Just wanna add, that this will make little, to no difference to handling on the Celica, and is mainly cosmetic....

Looking at the pics and where it mounts up, there will be NO DIFFERENCE at all. All you're doing is putting another solid piece of metal against a solid piece of metal...I can understand the front underbody brace, but this brace isn't bracing anything.

Dude, pls don't be too CONFIDENCE on your assumption.
If there is no use, I don't think Tanabe would spend $$$ to produce a useless crappy thing
I just installed earlier today, feels like the "Tail is more happy" than before, mine is a VERT, so dunno if a hatch gonna have those feeling or not... thats my 2cents and not some kinda advertising for this GB.

Hey vincent as in your floor bar where does it get bolted on?


In this pic its bolted on on the one futher away from the rear. Does yours both on in the same position? Because in your one its bolted on closest to the rear end. Does it work on both pairs the one closest to the rear and the other one too? Sorry if it was difficult to explain.

Yeah, u are right... as the trunk I installed the Bar, the interior plastic are all skin, seems I installed to the wrong spot.

And both pairs of holes are fit, I should install the bar to the further away from the rear like C-ONE

Since every spec are according to the C-ONE, so it will fit
