Right here.

FYI I drove over 300 miles this weekend (for work) and the hood prop didnt move from where you see it sitting in the pictures.

Excellent result!

eco · 01-22-2007, 01:03 AM

I want one in blue anodized if possible,if not Ill take aluminum color,thats just fine.

Doc Zaius · 01-22-2007, 08:53 AM

I'll take a red one, with the "RS" engraved on it!!

eco · 01-24-2007, 09:09 PM

Im just gonna velcro it to my Tanabe strut bar,chessy,but should stop it from rattling.

eco · 01-24-2007, 09:11 PM

Velcro strap that is,not 2 square peices,that wouldnt work at all,just thought Id clarify myself.

*Chris07LB* · 01-25-2007, 11:30 AM

Really no need. It didnt move from that spot, and now its been almost a week with the tester installed.

Go4th · 01-31-2007, 05:58 PM

I would be interested in the Black Cherry. Thanks Chris07LB.

*Chris07LB* · 01-31-2007, 06:32 PM

UPDATE

Here's a pic of the Black Cherry, Blue, Silver, Gold and Black hold downs for the Toyota FJ.

The Yaris ones will be avaliable in a milled (lines) or totaly smooth surface look. (see pictures for example)

My tester has been sent back up to Canada for the little updates, and the final production pieces will be ready for sale in a week or so.

eTiMaGo · 01-31-2007, 10:08 PM

Niiice... smooth red look FTW for me

Now, why do my pants have a stain on them?

Doc Zaius · 01-31-2007, 10:14 PM

Nice!!!!

Not sure if I should get the very pretty smooth look, or the more 'authentic' milled surface!! Oh, decisions, decisions...!!

manborn · 01-31-2007, 10:19 PM

looks very authentic

ChinoCharles · 02-01-2007, 03:18 AM

Looks better than OEM Chris. Wonderful!

I'm going to go hide my wallet now.

Doc Zaius · 02-07-2007, 09:50 AM

Its been a week! Whats news?! *bounce bounce bounce* (impatient!)

eco · 02-07-2007, 02:29 PM

Same here.

cshoem286 · 02-07-2007, 04:43 PM

Here's the revised one guys...

I am sending it to Chris for final fit testing, and then we can make some and anodize them. I have to apologize to him, this has been taking way too long. I am a one man operation running a CNC mill that I purchased and shoe horned into my garage, and after my full time job which often needs more than 40 a week.

He has been a great help in making this new product for you guys, and I haven't been focused on it hard enough, I have to try and keep up with the FJ crowd where this idea was born.

Hopefully Chris will have some feedback and new installed pics next week, and if all goes well I'll become a supporting vendor so we can get these under your hoods.

Thanks,

Joel
