They would have to be so small. Would be cool though.

Where did you get that? I just made my own out of steel and some black fabric (steel so that it's magnetic for a phone or tablet mount). You can just barely see it, but I put a single DIN radio at the bottom

Added a front splitter. I hope this bumper will hold. This splitter adds some weight

Toyota Part Number: 5552252020

It’s a radio cover for a Yaris. Fits perfect, but you need to glue it (or tape it) to the dash so it sits flush.

Could you share some more details? Perhaps even a DIY thread? I've been doing my own string box alignments and would be very interested in this.

Well, Bubba does admit it looks pretty sophisticated, compared to his 7' piece of 1"x1" pine board with a nail in each end of it - plus a piece of chalk -

I used 8 90 degree elbows and 4 Ts. 2pieces of PVC pipe at 10ft each. Came up with about 3ft left over.

54 inch pipe between the Ts. Clamp the Ts to the spats/splitter to keep the rig from twisting. I'm not sure how to go about doing this with no splitter or spats/diffuser. You'd need a different way to mount it.

Anyways, I just kinda eyeballed the whole thing. Should be plenty good to hold a string in place. Now I can make an adjustment drop and roll the car to settle it and jack it up again without resetting the string box. I left the ends unglued from the central pipes so I could apply tension or disassemble for storage.

Total cost was about 40$ with all fittings, glue, and 4 clamps
@humfrz I've gotten approximately 6 alignments (attempts anyways). No one I've tried to work with has been willing, capable, or both, of working on it. Now that I have the swap and it sits higher I might have better luck but I'm tired of settling for a shit product when they can't figure out how to adjust aftermarket parts. Or how to set camber beyond zero

Welp, Brian, down at the corner garage, may be a nice guy, but, you may consider taking your car to an alignment shop closer in to the city -
