I just finished installing the DC sports strut bar on my 2011 TC and Im pretty happy the way it came out. In my opinion it looks identical to the TRD version but for only half the cost. Install took only about 20 minutes

 

glad they finally released it! very sturdy bar

 

What vendor did you get the strut bar from?

 

I ordered it from a vendor off ebay. Here is the link "In Stock" DC Sports Carbon Steel Front Upper Strut Bar 2011 2013 Scion TC | eBay

 

Let us know how it holds up. Those welds look questionable unless it's just the paint.

 

Its kind of a bad picture on my part but it looks to be mostly paint built up because the welds sketched me out when I first looked at it

 

Speaking as a welder that's been in the trade for 10+ years, it's not the prettiest weld, but I doubt it would break. Looks like enough heat hit the metal.
