Pic Request: TC Sportline Rear Strut Bar

I've been looking around for a set of strut bars, and came across these on Mazdatrix. So I searched on here to get a picture of one installed, but it seems like the pictures/links have expired. So if anyone has a picture or has one and could take some pictures, it would be appreciated.

Then you did it wrong, this bar is designed to bolt in using factory holes. I didn't have to cut anything to install mine.

It looks like a knock off of the Mazdaspeed rear...If so then it should just bolt right through the factory holes...Also there is a good pic of one installed over the carpet in this thread: https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-non-technical-pictures-198/my-rare-condition-s5-turbo-ii-805608/ ....8th pic, 1st post...Hope that helps...GL

Old thread, but I like the blue. I should paint my front and rears. How did you get your speaker covers on? Mine didn't fit and I didnt want to try and trim them and break them :/

yeah, I don't like my wheel either! It came with a re amemiya insert but it's a bitch to get on. 320mm is way too small. I want a 350mm nardi, momo, mazda fd wheel. I HATE THE S4 WHEEL.
