Default 3 point strut bar?

I was browsing ebay when found this
This the front strut bar. It is in good condition with no damage.




Year: 1996

Make: Honda

Model: Accord EX V6

Exterior Color: Gold




Will this fit 2.2 1996 accord?

offhand I can't remember if the v6 uses the same chassis, it's likely it won't fit if they have a different chassis

IIRC the V6 Accord is considered a 'CE', but so is the wagon.
The biggest differences AFAIK is the hood, fenders, and front bumper are longer to accommodate the V6 hanging off the front. I don't believe the wheel base is different, but the car is ~3" longer.

I *think* the CC unit is in the same place between 2.2 and 2.7 cars. I'm not sure on clearance with the fuse box.
But if it is cheap that three point strut bar would be much better than any of those half assed wanna be cantilevered 'strut bars'.

EDIT: Just gargolyed a few pictures. Looks like the V6 models have three brackets that are welded to the body that the 2.2 cars do not have. Without the brackets you cannot mount the V6 brace to the 2.2 cars.[/EDIT]
