Anyone know of a brand which doesnt require hacking up the rear plastic - I would like to just pop the covers off and have a strut bar attach to the mounting points and come upward. Hope I am making sense! Thanks!

 

wish i could help you bro.... just buy what you want and do a clean cutting job. im sure youc an make it clean with a fine cutting tool and some sand paper

 

i havent seen one yet that does not require cutting , so id like to find out if one exsists as well

 

I'm pretty sure the JDM Integra rear bar requires you to only cut the pop-off covers if you want to keep the covers in place. Otherwise you don't have to cut anything. I could be wrong, though.

You have a link to where one of these may be available?

 

maybe try jdmshit.com or paswordjdm.com or inlinefour.com. there are alot out there just look around you might find some used or new.

 

the ebay one does not require hacking. it goes above as you described. you just need to cut the little strip on the left side.

please buy something quality bro, sometimes you have to make sacrifices and EBAY parts arent it

Available in Europe.

The Honda Access Rear ITR bar doesn't require you cutting the panels if you don't want to. However, with the supplied template, it looks really clean.

i agree, but those are the only ones that i have seen which go over the top.

 

Spoon bars stretch the plastic a bit, but will go in without cutting in a hatchback.

 

DC Sports rear strut bar goes upward, just pop off the plastic panels.

IMO, id rather have a cheap strut bar, then a hacked up trunk, but thats just my 2 cents

 

i have a skunk2 rear strut bar...no hacking required

 

stiff... but not too stiff...i've heard people say they suck, but i thik it's a good all purpose strut bar...stiff enough for the track....but not so stiff that street drivability diminishes

obviously you like the way your car looks but not how it performs? WTF is with people. you buy an STB that looks good but doesnt do the job? if i can get that lil extra stiffness of my chassis i will do it but hey maybe im just another guy who does ****, uh uh uh what do they call that anyway, RIGHT! "EBAY 4 TEH WIN!!!"

 

Since when did 2point strut bars even do ****?

 

Take a look at the Neuspeed bar.
