Well i cant find a rear strut tower bar anywhere. So i was wondering if anyone here has one for sale or knows of some good places to look. I would have to give up my first born son to buy from bulletproof auto with those prices and i cant find anything else from the parts database. Any input would be awesome. Thanks -Jim

I'm currently designing 3 point rear bars for the celica. They look just like the Jspeed, at a fraction of the cost.


In about two weeks I should have the first few sets available. Stay tuned.

I will return one day.

I'll be working on the front soon. If all goes well, I should have a 3 point that will clear the W/A cooler and fit under the stock hood.



A couple more weeks guys, I just fitted the rear. Fits very well, just need to tweek a few angles.

Pricing is not set at this time. I can promise you that it will be nowhere near the price of a JSpeed. $$$$

And I will have them ready to ship next day. Through Bulletproof you have to wait months for your parts. Which sucks.

I just want these to be perfect for you guys, real world test fitting will begin next weekend. Once those members approve, I will start a FS thread.

I'm almost there,

Two tester bars go out this weekend. If they are happy with the bars, I'll start making for the site. I have put alot of work into these, I'm sure everybody will like them.

I'll let the testers give reviews, and I'll provide pictures once I have the two styles completed. Then I can take orders, you choose the paint and style you want. I ship once payment is recieved. I'm almost there, you guys will be happy.

You want a preview ? look at the JSpeed 3point rear, mine version looks exactly like it. I would really like to show you guys the finished product, which should be next week. Pictures, prices, and all the answers.

Thanks for waiting.

I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.

great work for making them yourself!!!

But maybe some idea from the Dutch:

This is a OEM rear strutbar of the GT4, with lether around it

And for the front you can use a strutbar of a

DODGE NEON

95-99 45MM CNC MACHINED FRONT UPPER STRUT TOWER BAR

You just have to drill 2 new holes and it cost around 70 dollar, but they're ver cheap where you live!!

I think he is talking about a three point in the front. That clears the hood and intercooler.
JDM guy made me do it.
