Another angle:

 

Where did you guys get the bent bar? All I can find is the straight bars. Also Lexkost can you hook me up with one of your spacers also? Thanks,

Lou

 

I asked a variety of eBay vendors if they had the TT Supra bar with bend...those I contacted were straight. You can bend it and it wasn't that difficult once you find a stable mount to hold the bar. If this last attempt at bending was not successfiul, I was going to give Speedy Performance Parts a call and order a brand called "Toucan". From their picture it is a bent bar. Price is $36.01 with $5.95 shipping.

(They have multiple business names on the net, this was just the division I called. No shopping experience with them though.)

If you can apply enough bend, I'm thinking you won't need any spacers.

 

Would that one fit without any mods? Are the mounts included?

 

Or your can remove those 3 nuts that hold strut and then jack up the car. Push the strut down till you can slip the brace in. That how I do it.

 

or cant u take of the dumb engine cover + maybe the lexus emblem and it fits perfectly

 

You could try removing those pieces. However, I'd give it a shot at bending...it doesn't take much and this way you preserve the function of the dust cover.

This was my write-up on how I bent the strut tower brace:

no offence but the dust cover does not have much purpose? looks cover engine? keep it hotter?

 

My recollection of the front portion of the cover is that it has a channel that isolates the igintion wires and serves to prevent dust from getting down into the timing belt cavity. It's been a spell since I poked around there.

The rest covers up the vacuum hoses and wires around the intake plenum.
