Default Which rear strut tower bars...

...only require popping off the strut tower covers and no cutting of the remaining plastic for installation?

Spoon, Honda, Neuspeed, DC, Skunk, and most bars out there just require covers popped off.

I only recall OMP and the old skool Z.Speed bars require cutting of the interior. But those seem to be the best designs too...

yes it is.... a ADM bar...
From down-under... the same but from a different location.
Still a Honda part.

It is a bit higher than the large plastic pieces. The little covers trimmed up nicely.

Jdm requires no cutting. The mugen does but that bar works well.

That would be the *WET* bar... beers on tap... oh sorry...

That is the factory luggage tie down point ... sorry once again...

It helps keep the rear end stiff... I guess

Like stiff-legged-dead-lifts... or squats

For originality's sake if you own an ITR I suggest the JDM Honda rear upper strut bar all the way. The ITR is not some Civic or GSR, it's a serialized collector car. And cutting the rear panels seems like a bad choice when the bar that was originally meant to go in the car fits by simply trimming the two strut covers which are VERY replaceable and cheap. Go jdm ITR, jdmhondaparts.com has them in stock right now. It's also a perfect match with your front factory strut bar.
