Its called a C pillar bar. With ebay, as with everything, you get what you pay for.

yea your gonna have to cut the plastic a little...it will only be noticeable if you cut nasty...They do look cool but im not gonna lie you wont really feel a difference in the upper one...id say the ones that make a positive difference is the front and rear strut tower bars...Oh and also with the bar you can keep the seat belts..the bar bolts in the same place as those but they can just stay on with it

i saw a few pictures and a lot of people mess up on the holes. i want mine to be in a good spot without taking that panel off to do it cuz that looks like a pain and i always brake clips and hear it vibrate later on.

thanks for the help. what should i use to cut em??
