The picture is of the underneath area of the rear seats. There are 2 brackets, one on each side and I have no clue what they are used for.

those are for the uhm, optional rear mounted anti theft laser systems.

 

It's actually 3 pieces. It's called "the rear crossmember" and is only found on Type R's. Stiffens up the chassis. I just removed mine though because I'm replacing it with a welded bar in the same area

 

EDIT: circled part is what i'm asking about.

thanx.

 

ive seen this on NON-ITRs before. Its not itr specific afaik

 

fishy...

Im pretty sure my car is an ITR though.

Im guessing I can just remove the brackets and save like 3oz of weight

 

Well i do know it's on every ITR I've ever seen, but not on any GS-R I've seen. There is no mention of it in my 1996 Helms, however it is included in my 1997 Type R supplement. Normally the stuff in the supplement is all R-specific, right?

 

 

thoose type of bars arent only in type r's they were in 96-00 dx hatchs an all 99-00 Si's,also in 96-00 civic coupe's(hx,ex)

 

Arent they clip holders to secure some trim piece?

You know those plactic square things, that you put the screw into?

 

That's what i was thinkin

 

Good call I checked my inside trunk panels and there is a piece that looks like it is supposed to be attached to that bracket by those plastic clip/snap thingies. I dont think my car had those to begin with though because the brackets look like new. Thanks
