I got this a while ago and I remember seeing it was bent. I don't remember if it was on here but I did research and found out the bend was purposful so it would clear something in a jdm yaris that is on the opposite side or different than in a usdm yaris. Can someone confirm this that the bend is purposeful and not a defect?

ALSO can someone tell me what hardware comes with this that is to be used for installation? I cant remember and if it is supposed to I no longer have this hardware so how would one get replacements? Also, take a look at these other cusco strut bar pics from google, and note the bend. Looks the same on mine?

there is a metal plate that's crescent shaped and 2 bolts with i believe 17mm nuts that sandwich the car body between the adapter plate and that strut bar.

So yours looks to have the slight bend as well?

Edit: nevermind you have a different product

c-one and cusco worked together for chassis strengthening. its pretty much the same product. c-one parts are just more rare.
