will a 1st gen solara strut bar fit a gen 5 camry?

[CharmCityES]

my dealership has had a 1st gen solara TRD strut bar laying around in parts since like 99 they said, and they want it gone....they offered it to me for like 50 bucks, and i was wondering if perhaps it will bolt up to a gen 5 camry....i know the gen 4 camry and gen 1 solara are interchanagble, but i have no idea if it will bolt up to my gen 5....any help is appreciated!

Can't you ask them to let you kinda "test fitting" it? I mean if you laid the bar on top you can see if it will fit or not?

i just wanted to know what people here thought first

Great mind think alike.

i kinda doubt it... i mean if that fit then why would they have a separate strut bar for gen 2 solara/gen 5 camry?

good point....i was just checking in if it was possible to make it fit, since i get a pretty good deal on it
i assumed it wouldent fit anyways

I don't know, but I doubt it will.

Then again, ALL parts can be made to fit ALL cars...

...so I don't want to say no.

The next thing you know someone will show one all butchered up and installed on a Gen 5 Camry.

haha i dont butcher up parts for my car...im working on that intake tract mods tho....im gonna flowbench a stock intake system with removed resinators and TRD filter and see if it does offer improved airflow
im not out to gain power, just to prove that a stock system is damn efficent and can be modded on its own, and a camry sri is worthless

A flow bench won't take into all the affects of an SRI. A flow bench also won't tell you anything about the maximum air volume that the Camry actually USES. Your testing is flawed in that regard.

true...it is just for testing purposes only
im not installing any of that on my car....ive just deleted the larger resinator housing and installed my TRD drop in
