First: How well does it fit?
Second: How much does it cost?
Third: Where did you order it from?

I think the fitment should be good, I did a search and it's one of the few STB that will clear my stepping motors on the Tiens. I'm chasing down a mysterious oil leak, so the install will have to wait a week or so. But it's sooooo SHINY!!!

Cost wasn't too bad, 350.00 shipped from Japan via EMS. The only bad part was it took 6 weeks to actually obtain the part, it looks like many vendors/companies are phasing out our cars. As for the vendor, PM me for details.

See link below. The bar itself is only $143. With Fedex shipping from Japan the total is about $220.

It is Cusco part # 188 540A under Toyota Soarer 4.3L. My order is still processing.

I ordered about 2 days ago. The status says shipping is estimated on May 11 from Japan. We will see what happens.

They're not the greatest when it comes to meeting deadlines, but the communication/updates are great. Just keep checking your order status on their webpage, they update it when something new happens.

$220 is not bad. Let us know what happens.

This Part number is confirmed not to rub on our hood insulation.
