Default Show me your Custom rear upper strut bars in your coupes!

I just gutted my 95 coupe, and im going to custom build a rear upper strut bar or a trunk cage thing.

My dad is a professional welder, and pretty darn skilled, so i wanna make something nice, usefull, and good looking.

Anyone has any custom ones with Pics? Thanks alot!

that second bar (the lower one) is actually the rear strong bar. This does help, but is really only for those who want to remove the bumper supports for weight savings in racing. This is not a modification that I'd recommend for just anyone who is using their car as a daily driver.

so basically it reduces the flex created by removing bumper supports
