That looks pretty meaty, wondering if they have anything like this for the 430.

stiffens up the front bottom section of your car..
If you look at the oem one thats attached, u can tell its pretty thin vs the TRD.

Thank you!

Can't you replace the bolts? BTW, if anyone purchase the above, you need two bolts 1.25 thread and longer than stock.
