I was perusing through the trunk area of my 2000 CX today and thought about putting in a rear strut bar to match the one I will be putting in the front. Much to my surprise there was nowhere to put it. Unfortunately, the plastic panels prevent access to the suspension. Do I have to take out the panels to attach the strut bar, or can I just cut them away to reveal the suspension? Any suggestions and pics would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

You can cut holes in your panels.

Here's a bad pic of my old setup. Thought I had better ones, but nope. Sorry.


I recommend you strip your car if you don't need those backseats =P
Check out this link if you wanna see how easy it is to install the shock tower brace without any panels in the way.

take your rear speaker panels off and your speaker to access your rear suspension. you will need to cut holes in the plastic if you want to have a rear strut tower bar. it's kind of a guessing game where exactly the holes should go, but just match it up with whatever bar you decide to get.
