yup, one thick maroon bar. don't look like much or like something worth a couple hundred, but it sure does its job well. TRD's looks good, but RMM is aesthetically pretty but looks flimsy

Bravo,
the RMM bar may look Flimsy, but in reality the bar is forged aluminum.

Looks good and IS strong.

Erick,

If no one elses posts one, send me a PM tomorrow evening or Thursday and I'll snap one once I get back in town for you.

I had the dealer stick mine and and they cut pretty big holes in the trunk liner (not the most inobtrusive job), but you'll see the piece at least.

Eventually, I want to make some kind of 'boot' to go over the brace and fit into the liner for appearances.

yeah, i should've been more clear and specifically mentioned that it isn't actually flimsy, just doesn't look meaty like the others. but it sure is prettier out the box

hey Shinchan,
You like the TRD STB and Tom's rear STB? I was thinking of dooing that next. Was there a big difference corning? What about regular driving? Big change?

I'm not sure if i want to do more to my car this year. I have to buy a 2nd car soon. You know how it gets out here in the winter.

well i think it's about the same, they are both one piece and i dont' see why there would be a big difference. however, you probably don't even have to consider the trd.... i talked to steve and trd japan is not sending in anything at all.... and the waiting is like a mile long...
