Man, I've been wanting the ASM GT Tower bar for awhile. Will it work on the CR steering brace?
As long as the rear CR brace isn't that thick I would guess it would still fit just fine. If not I would imagine the ASM cross bar is a better overall reenforcement. Especially when combined with the front lower bar that comes with the 2 separate little arms that braces the front steering rack mounting points as well.

GoTuning has it installed on their CR demo car, but not sure if they removed the rear CR steering brace.
Both of the braces for the CR steering rack were left on when we installed the ASM GT Front Tower Bar. We were also able to install the ASM GT Front Lower Arm Bar that mounts to the front points of the steering rack with the front CR steering brace. But we also have Spoon Rigid Collars on the car which lowers the subframe about 1mm and think the CR steering rack brackets are about 1.5mm so that might have helped offset the braces for fitment.

Awesome good to know! Consider it a good reason to get Rigid Collars if it is the solution to make it all fit perfectly.

Bouford, What front license plate bracket are you using?

I finally got a ticket for no front plate.

license plate solution should be pretty easy, just make brackets to use the predrilled holes or buy one of the JDM adjustable angle brackets and redrill to fit US plates.

Not much of an upgrade, but I love high quality Japanese decals and I love the design of the ASM logo. Since Felipe sold his ASM sheet I had to buy one from a vendor, lol. The J's Racing decal is going on my J's carbon hood when it arrives next month. I have one single ASM part on the car so I guess I'm allowed to put a decal on the car

Thanks Aaron or Tommy! You know I want one because I've been asking for a long long time!
