That's a stock gt-4 option. You can get it from your local toyota dealer. Why did you paint it? It looks so good black. If your going to make it red, at least paint that TOYOTA part, it looks pretty bad. Sorry. Maybe a 6gc.net sticker or Toyota sticker would look cleaner.

Painted it because all of my interior is red, and a little black, so figured i'd paint it red, and leave a little on it black to keep everything inside the car to flow together. I like it. Looks good to me. But everyone has diff. oppinions, And plus its not a toyota sticker, i used lettering to cover it while i painted it and then took them out to make it black with red.

i agree with bulldog... looking through your interior pics, i still think it would've looked better being black with a red logo. but like what you said everybody's got their own opinion on things.

Or you can just make one if you have access to a welder and some descent bar stock. I made all of mine except the stock GT one from aircraft quality tubalar bar stock.

I'd like to make mine a 3 point instead of 2. I have no access to a welder anymore. I miss it.

looks like you got some pretty bad overspray on the "toyota". if you had the actual toyota letters as a reverse sort of stencil, use some spray adhesive or something to make sure you get nice sharp edges.

Ya, it kinda messed up so im just gonna paint it all red. Thanks for your guy's opinions tho.

[shin]

yea the fonts didn't come out that nice but good attempt though. i'm sure with practice ya be able to do a better job.

[celiracer]

Ya thanks shin. the whole things pissing me off. It all messed up, and then i went to paint over the toyota it got even more messy, so i sanded it all off and i'm gonna just re-paint it all red now.

Yeah that's what I did with mine (see my engine pic) - the rear one I made made a huge difference.

I have the stock bar with a tower to tower bar up front, it's helped okay. But I just have the GT-4 bar in the back and it really helped. I'd like to stiffen the car up more though. With those braces in the fender, and actually about a full cage.

A full cage? Isn't this your daily driver?

[celiracer]

Nope. Wont be. It is till Next month then it will only be out on nice days

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

So? My last daily driver was awsome. No radio, no a/c, gutted interior, only driver and passenger seats, strate pipe with no muffler or cats, and fun as heck to drive. It didn't have a cage, but I wish it did. It was fast in a line, but it wasn't so hot in the twisties.

I guess we're different people then, because that sounds like something I'd love to have for a weekend car but for a daily, I need luxuries such as an interior, a radio and a muffler.
