Here is the strut bar, fits like a glove. Mounting the brackets is a pain, there isn't enough clearance between the bolt and strut assembly for a socket/extension so it requires alot of patience but other than that it fit perfectly. Might be easier if you remove the wiper cowl but I did not.

It looks nice. A whole lot of Quarter turns... sucky! I will probably drop the strut. The 2015s had a recall for the strut bearings. So I will check them. Your car looks good!

Did you "tune" the front end or just put the bar in snug?

You're supposed to snug up the bar while the front wheels are still off the ground so thats what I did. IMO its more of a show piece than an "upgrade" for normal driving, it seems to help with body roll when you're cornering hard though, especially coupled with the TRD rear sway bar.

I like the look of it. I do ride hard in the canyons here in So. Cal so I might get some bang for the buck!
