2010 Toyota Prius Front Strut Tower Bar

Now it was time to test the front strut tower bar. Position-wise, it was a bit different from the Japan-market Prius. Clearanaces were much less, and the bar had to be mounted with the letters facing forward as opposed to facing up.

In the end, clearances were too little for comfort, as the bar ended up toucing a few components in the engine bay. And so, this tower bar is going back to the drawing board.
