Default Installed TRD FSTB

Just like the title says, I installed my fire engine red TRD FSTB this afternoon, on what must've been the coldest day of the year! Installation was pretty straightforward, the only tricky part was working around a bracket that interfered with the nut on the left rear driver's side strut mount. But other than that, it was pretty easy. I took the car for a test drive afterwords to see how it felt, and I noticed a definite improvement in cornering. The car felt nimble through corners, and I felt a lot more confident taking well known turns at higher speeds than normal. Body roll seems to ahve been reduced somewhat, and it feels less "floaty" through turns. I feel like I can actually follow a curve without having to make course corrections throughout. All in all, a good mod, and a ncie start for my planned suspension upgrades.

Don't be hating on the dirty engine, it is winter in new England!

What do you know... the Hotchkis bar does look good in red.

Yes, yes it does. And the bar is one piece, in case anyone was curious.
