I searched and didn’t find anything.

Other than color, is there a preference between the two?

This would be for a 2021 which has the factory braces. I read a thread stating they were better over stock which I can believe because the OEMs are pretty wimpy.

There are subtle differences between the two. Mostly cosmetic color, hardware and finishes. I think the Blitz brace is a little nicer in quality.

Performance wise they’re both identical.

I do wish there was quantified data on performance improvement. I want one of these so bad, but want to be able to justify it for reasons other than the truth; that it just friggin looks cool.

If I get one it will just be for looks any additional performance related benefits will be a bonus. The stock bars on the 21's just look bad IMO. Like they took some leftover tube steel and hammered the ends and said done!

Only thing is I'd have to powder coat either one and I'm busy buying mods still for my bike, mostly because it needs them more than the Supra and they are way cheaper. (CBE $500 vs. $2,300).

Port injection isn't anywhere near the brace.. why wouldn't it fit?
Port injection causes the whole top
Of the engine to be raised and my Cusco bar doesn’t fit anymore because it hits the charge pipe now

Huh.. yeah, that makes total sense. I have a fab/weld shop so I'll be able to modify mine when it comes in. Do you know someone that can cut off and weld new tabs onto the bars?

No, I don’t.. that’s why I’m thinking maybe just the side bars only might fit. Like the factory 2021 Supra’s.

Another question. I found it on eBay but the seller is in Japan.

Does anyone know what import taxes I will have to pay?

I can’t seem to find a clear answer. It’s selling for about $220.

Thanks!
