Is there any resistance when trying to close the hood? If not, good job!

How many spacers did you need..lol..

Yeah, is this the supra TRD bar? I didn't think they made one for the SC...

Did you need any spacers to fit it on correctly?

Thanks!

Any hint as to what kind of 'engineering' we're talking about here?

just a few spacers. I also had to change the nuts. the factory nuts don't start threading right away the start about an eighth inch up in the nut and finish about an eighth inch short of the top. so some spacers and new fully threaded nuts did the trick. It didn't touch the engine what so ever without spacers, but would bind under heavy load. so the spacers gave the engine enough room to rock a little therefore not binding and therefore needing some extra strength on grapping the strut bolts after spacing. definetly need aftermarket struts with extended bolts. I've got tein coilovers. would of been a lot easier if they were just a little bit longer.

Looks nice. I have that same Greddy oil cap and it doesn't fit for crap. It's round, gets FLAMING hot and doesn't want to come off because of the timing cover not willing to let it pass thru. I just went back to stock.

How are you dealing with this?
