Just finished installing my custom rear strut tower brace on my 2013 gs450h
Hi all. Just finished my rear strut tower brace. Brackets were used from a gs350 brace kit. The bar was to short for my 2013 gs450h so i had to make my own. Used a 1x72" aluminum square tube from true value for 16.99 and a set of black 1" tube plugs. 2 for end of tube and the other 2 i drilled holes in to act as spacers for the mounting bolts. Also cut the bar at 37". I think it came out pretty awesome and it did seam to tighten up the rear a bit.
Here you can see the bar in the gs350 kit was too short. But the brackets worked.
I like the square better than the flat bar

Just finished the front strut tower brace on my 2013 gs450h
Hi again. Just finished the front tower brace now. Fit perfectly and really tighten up the front end. Cant wait to get all the braces on the underside. One thing i would like to point out is that after i installed the brace my shifter no longer moves when i go over bumps or when i pull into my garage, and that was a plus i was not expecting besides the handling.
Btw install only took like 15 minutes.

But I need to be able to see and get the aftermarket parts. I've looked at the photos on this site and exactly what I want is there, but I don't know whos posting these pictures. So, if you know of where I can find the "Athlete" aftermarket shops, please let me know.

Sorry about the iPhone pics. But thank you to Samson at RevisionAudio for installing my JoeZ Full Catback (purchased from ModinJapan) and equipping my GS350 with Airrunner suspension and Airlift 3H Management! Future mods: SPC rear camber kit and SSR CV04's.
