you will be left with that 2-inch bar. note, that the gt4 bar is curved forward while the stock bar is basically flat in the front.. so no matter what, the bar won't perfectly sit flush in the gt4 bumper absorber.

some people have put on their front aftermarket bumpers without the crash bar. but is highly not recommended. if you think of it this way, the bumper's made of plastic (or fiberglass for aftermarket ones) and if you hit an obstacle/wall/post, that plastic will break depending on how hard you hit it. that'll obviously cost you $$$ for repairs down the road since the plastic isn't hard enough to stop the car.
i'd suggest you buy the actual gt4 bar.. it costs ~$91 from toyotaworld. don't forget to buy the frame rail brackets if you decide to go this way.

Reinforcement Bar 52131-20220

So are you saying that we have to buy that part in order to put the gt4 bumper, but do you know if the c-one fits prectly or do u have to buy that crash bar?

do you have to go to toyota to buy these? im really looking into getting a gt4 hood and a c-one front...anyone know where a good place would be?

If you want the c-one front that fits the GT4 hood, you will need to get the actual c-one piece from Japan. The knock-off ones in the states only fit the stock hood (or hoods with stock fitment)

WOW i did't knew that, thanks for the help cuz i was just going to order the gt4 hood and the c-one bodykit, also do you know where can i get the c-one body kit from japan, will it cost alot more?
