Well I installed my TRD Strut Tower Brace tonight (sweeeet) and now im in a mist of a crisis. The bar comes with a TRD label on it that is pretty slick yet I have L-Tuned emblem/sticker package on the car. I was thinking of replacing the TRD label with a L-Tuned one as in the picture. I know it is personal preference, but any thoughts?

PS got the bar from Steve -cant beat 170.00 for such a quality piece and even 2 of my neighbors came over to watch and were impressed.

What's wrong with having multiple vendors' parts on your car?

I'd think it would make you appear more knowledgeable about your car.

To me it means you know enough to pick the components that best suit your needs rather than buying a "package" with pieces that may or may not be the most appropriate choices.

If you do, I'll buy the TRD emblem off you if it's not ruined taking it off.

Hey WhiteDiamond, do you have a picture of your exhaust? I have Magnaflow Exhaust also but on my 95. I'd like to see what it looks like on the 2nd Gen GS300.
