There is no point to putting a c-pillar bar in a coupe or sedan, and there is no way to mount it without cutting into your c-pillar shroud.

Your car has a fixed metal rear deck, thus negating the purpose of a c-pillar reenforcement bar. They're a hatch-only upgrade.

oh eran, that won't stop him, you know it deep down.

see person with numbers in your name, a c pillar bar in a hatch gives re-inforcement that is missing from a hatch....cause the interior is completely wide open.

in a coupe of 4 door you have a huge deck behind your back seats that connects both sides of the car.

so your c-pillar bar will look cool to young kids, but will not give you any added support.

but anyway, i'm sure it would fit, length is the only issue.

A harness bar, which attaches to your B-pillar. And you don't attach the harnesses to it, you loop them through it.

They're worthless unless they're part of a cage with a roll bar. If you get in a roll-over accident with 4-point harnesses and no roll bar, you will be held in position while the roof caves in and compresses your spine.
