Dude, your post was magic when I installed mine. Thanks man.

Thanks, this helped me out a lot. Still didn't line up on first try though.

This post helped a lot when i was putting mine on. How in the world you got your template positioned right on the first try is beyond me.
I was too excited and just adhesived them down before checking the alignment of the holes. That was no fun. I had to pick one bracket and slowly start peeling the brackets off and repositioning them to fit. Hopefully the adhesive is still able to stick well enough.
One last little side note. Initially I thought the louvers sit flush with the rear window but they do not. The brackets lift them just a bit off of the glass.

Thanks for the OP

Anyone know a reputable site besides ebay to buy these?

>> I was very uncertain of this purchase. Actually I think I was a bit drunk when I made it.

It has come to my attention that photobucket is hosted by a bunch of stingy bastards. I am working on restoring the post... Stay tuned.

More picars please. Just any closer.

BasementN3k0 · 06-01-2018, 04:11 PM

If I had the part number, I can see if my wife can order one from work. I'm debating on getting one.

Packofcrows · 06-08-2018, 05:28 AM

Just ordered mine!!! So excited! Next, it’s frs trd us wheels!

UPDATE:

6/22/18 a few days with mine installed. I like it. Total head turner and conversation starter. Zero issues, zero negative reactions. In fact, most of the twin haters in my neighborhood have had nothing but positive things to say!

p.s. I got mine from ebay from japex_trading 100% legit, saved about $300 USD bought in Australian currency. Total cost to CA was $879 USD. 1200 AUD

P.P.S. no full pic bc stock wheels look yuck. Havent made up mind on TRD tires. Have rims already but waiting.
