basically think of your front strut bar. rear is the same concept cuz it connects to the rear struts. open your trunk pop off those plastic covers and you'll see what i'm talkin about.

I think they might only have one for sale...not sure. It's displayed on the wall in the service room if you're interested. I would have bought it if I didn't have one already.

Calling them right now...

Just got off the phone with them to confirm if it was actually an OEM Product:

skafia: Hi, I was wondering if you had any JDM Integra Type R Rear Strut Tower bars in stock?
Sunnyvale: Let me check.
[HOLD]
Sunnyvale: Yeah, we have one, its brushed aluminum, and it comes with a "Type R" sticker, the price is $100.
skafia: Okay, is this an actualy OE Honda part?
Sunnyvale: No, I don't think so, it's made by JDM, whatever that means.
skafia: Well, Honda does make an OE Rear Strut Tower bar and I was wondering if this was the same part, does it have a part number by any chance?Sunnyvale: No, it does not have a part number.
skafia: Ok, thanks anyway

Well, he couldn't confirm the part number on this part so most likely its a knock off. $100 is a steal, too good to be true.

Heh, made by JDM. Moron. If it isn't in a honda box and doesn't have a honda part number, it ain't no honda part. He seriously didn't know what JDM was, and didn't bother to ask???

$100 US is about the price you would pay for it in JDM land i *think*.

It's $180 in Australia.

He assumed that JDM was a company. He probably heard the word flying around a few times and assumed it was a company, oh well... Acura dealerships.
