Default TRD Front strut tower bar, is this one genuine?
I noticed that other TRD front strut tower bars for the Aristo had a TRD logo with a red and white stripe in it.
How about this bar? Is it a replica or TRD just used a different logo and was made more recent than the one with the 2 stripe logo?

I have and authentic TRD Aristo bar #2 and my badge does not look like that. Could be a knockoff....

Found this same logo on an Aristo:

Also, a strut bar from a Supra has the same logo.



So I'm wondering if there was a logo revision for the Aristo bar.

Or someone could have bought a replacement badge

And here is one off my Supe....

The Badge looks similar to the one on the MKIV bar but that badge never came on the Aristo bar.

Just to let you know, if you have dampening adjustable, you will have to make some dents into the bar.
