Default Chrome Trunk Bar

Does anybody know where I can find this exact chrome trunk bar on Steven Wong's LS?? I like how simple and subtle it is. I don't know if it's custom or he got it off some car, but it looks awesome!







I don't want the ones on ebay, they're just way too bulky and doesn't flow too well. Looks ghetto imo.

I took some measurements, and I'll need a bar 24" wide, and no more than 1" in height.

Word, a member on VSC found it for me:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LEXUS...Q5fAccessories

It's JDM, imma try to get a hold of it elsewhere since that dude charges WAYYY too much for his stuff.

IMC shop has it for 7,300 yen......but ordering it from them is proving to be a difficult task when you don't really know Japanese.

For some reason in their pictures, it just looks nasty. Maybe its the gold emblems and the angle that's throwing it off.

Hey Romeo, i'm getting mine through eliteautostyle.com The owners name is Justin. Really good guy. And the trunk bar that i'm getting is made by the japanese company Insurance and they're only around $75. Here's a pic of them from the site. Hope this helps. GL!

Holy crap dude, that helps me a bunch!! That's the best price I've seen so far, I was just about to pay $98 +$15 for it from Lextreme. I've ordered stuff from Justin before, so that's awesome you told me. Thanx man, appreciate that!

hey guys,

i just got mine from justin also. was 100USD delivered to australia. i really wanted one so i'm looking past the fact that it's a pretty damn expensive piece of chrome plated ABS.

but regardless - how did you find the fit? i've only lined it up by hand but i'm worried it's not going to sit down flush on the trunk lid? also, it has two small holes drilled out in the bottom edge, would it be worth using those with some self tappers to try secure it to the trunk lid a bit more, perhaps to the plastic garnish underneath where the numberplate lights are??
