No, the bolts are behind the plastic, so it would have to be cut. Also, a C-pillar bar would be pretty worthless on a coupe, considering you have the huge beam behind the seats and the rear decklid that are welded to the pillars already.

Even the triangular bars that I've seen have bolted joints, so they're pretty much worthless. They would still allow the car to flex like: \-\ or /-/ (the / are the sides of the car exagerated, and the - are the bars). Think of a cardboard box with open ends, pushing the top of it from side to side.
The only thing that may work, as far as bars are concerned are ones with welded hard points, and not bolted joints. But they still might not do much. I haven't noticed any difference on my car.
One thing that does work is a cage, but I don't recomend that for street use. It's got welded joints, and hits multiple points on the frame.

Re: (SRCivic97)
It's also dangerous in a crash without a helmet, which is why you shouldn't use them on a street car. I don't know how the C-pillar bar sits, but it could also be dangerous for anyone riding in the backseat. They could crack thier heads on it if rear-ended.

I think thats only for 96 and up because my 93 coupe doesnt have those bars.
