So Santa dropped this off the other day....
I've been looking at all the posts on various Strut Tower Braces and really likes the TRD bar but could not justify the price. I was mostly interested in the look and if it yielded any improvement in handling it would be a plus.
I must say that there was no real noticeable improvement in handling but, I don't drive to push the limits anyway. It does seem like there is a bit less hesitation when taking a turn but could just be me.
As for the look, the carbon fiber is spot on what I wanted.
I've compared this with my buddies TRD Strut Tower Brace and except for the TRD tag on the bar I don't see any real difference. The D2BD Motorwerks carbon fiber strut brace is made out of a real carbon fiber tube, with billet end caps, black powder coated brackets, and zinc coated hardware.
The best part is the price was only $99.00 from Dare 2B Different Motorwerks. - See more at:

The craftsmanship looks to be great and installation was super simple. If you are looking for an alternative to the Carbon Fiber TRD Bar, give this one a look.
