TRD Strut Bar

Does anyone have one of these on their Gen 4? I've found one on eBay for relatively cheap but the picture looks like one of those shitty ones you can get for $15.

When I asked him if he could provide proof it was TRD he said when he bought it, it came with TRD stickers...haha.

Anyway, if you have one, can you post a picture of it so I can compare?

Thanks!

I have one and like it a lot with the setup I have right now. These usually go for $100 used. Here's a camera pic that I recently took:

OK. thanks guys. This proves that the guy was just trying to pass off some cheap ebay strut bar as TRD.

Is this the listing you were looking at?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=120521451460

EDIT: Who is this guy trying to fool? -> http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=120521447027

TRD grille? I don't think you can just slap an emblem on something and call it TRD.
In that case you can buy a TRD toaster!

I wasn't aware that that kind of grill would work on the 4th gen?

Lol at this guy... A TRD logo on your grille does not make it official TRD in any way I could have done that myself!!!

That's the standard Gen4 grille as far as I know. Same one I have.

I bought mine from NVDIS1 on solaraguy. $179 shipped. A bit pricey... but the alternatives I found just plain suck. Unless you can find a Whiteline brace in the US somewhere.

You might give him a shout to see if he has any left! If you're interested in that.

what I meant to say is at least from what I have seen the grill and bumper cover is a single piece, not separate like in the 3rd gen.

Nah, they're two pieces. I thought they were one piece on the third gen?

The grill is a separate piece on the 4.5 Gen. I think it may be the same piece on the 4.0 Gen though. From what I've seen of them on the outside it looks like that may be the case anyways.

Damn i want a TRD strut bar lol
