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.

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... >>

do you think that the factory v-bar, does anything anyway? it looks pretty weak.
that Neon strut brace is from the 1st gen right?
i just got my neon one on, the clearance fit great. and wow, u do notice a big driving difference, im painting the factory one, and going to install it tommorrow.

and you can still close your hood without problem ?
my st205 swapandour Beams swap
yes the hood closes fine. why was that a problem with some people. well i figured the hood wouldnt be a problem cause i have a hood scoop that i cut out, and also the support brackets up under the hood, are cute for the scoop, and that factory padding is also removed. Its gonna be replaced with brown bead under hood.
Ill post pics first thing in the morning

Sorry the pics are pretty bad quality, but you can see the brace went on fine.
Nice Job. I was wrong. I had trouble with mine. You are the man >>
