Default Password JDM Rear Trunk 2pt Bar / Brace

Anybody know where to buy one? I’ve called lots of places and coming up short. They went out of business early 2020 apparently but heard rumors of them potentially starting back in business later this year.

I’m looking for the bar on the bottom.

Ultra Racing makes basically all the same bars and some others. Maybe try there? The PWJDM ones were pretty obviously knock-offs or rebrands of Carbing bars, so maybe that's another place to look, unless you are trying to complete a set.

Yeah Carbing is probably nicest but they don’t make that bar. PW is pretty nice stuff bit no longer available, Benen only has EK bars and I don’t think they fit EG. Only option seems to be Ultra Racing, they seem decent…may be forced to go that route thanks

If it's a lateral trunk bar as you showed above, that spacing between the bumper support bolts is the same for all 92-00 Civics/94-01 Integras

According to their site, it only fits 96-2000 EK hatchbacks?? Is that not correct?

Yeah, I'm not sure how that brace actually works. Read the rest of the description:



And the holes don't make sense for what you want to bolt it to.

Edit: Confirmed by this crappy old pic I found on Google:

WOW. I don't know how I missed the news for well over a year that PW:JDM had gone out of business...

Good luck finding the brace OP. May be worth calling around to see if anyone has something, or potentially even just get something custom made out of some aluminum stock if you have any fabricators in your area.

Thanks. I ended up finally getting ahold of Benen, it turns out the group that owns Benen also owns other brands such as Circuit Hero. They said they will selling Benen next year most likely to another buyer, and so they aren’t currently making any more new parts or increasing production. So if you have the money and dreamed of owning your own parts Mfg give them a call! Anyways, they confirmed that the EK rear brace mentioned above 100% does not fit the EG, the bolt spacing in the trunk is different.

Options now are to get a UltraRacing or look for a used passwordJDM bar.
