with engine cover still? didn't the tein rub or something?

 

i was looking into doing this mod too. what bars fit over the gs3's engine cover? and preferably in the one piece design. thanks for any info in advance

 

I just looked at that site Lexus L- tuned parts....the Carson Toyota site. Are you guys seriously paying 700+ dollars for a strut tower brace?

My mistake, I thought that one was TRD, it's some brand called C-One.

 

With engine cover? I wanna see this pic of the Tein stb on a GS430 w/ engine cover.

I dunno, I do at least. You spend a good amount of money for that piece of metal, might as well take a few extra steps.

 

Yes my engine cover is still on. Ill try to snap some pics later. It is very tight in between there, but I made it work.

 

What kind of modifications did you need to make?

With mine (Carson) I had to leave the OEM spacer on and my passenger side still rubbed by about 1mm. Gotta make a few adjustments to the engine cover to eliminate that slight rub. Drivers side of the engine cover just clears.
