yeah I've seen those but what would the back bars bolt too? I don't think there are any threaded holes back there near the rear body panel in our cars.

I want one like the Next Mircale crossbar, for a Civic EF. But for that price, I'll get a cage. If they can make this cheaper...

One useful brace and the rest is a portable jungle gym.
Well, unless you consider your hatch closing better and not squeaking a much "useful".

The X-bar would be badass. Who cares if it's useless, as if there aren't other mods that are equally non-effective.

Bonus -

Lighter with no bumper support
Side marker to help ward off stupid women in SUV's on cell phones.

but, do the OTHER mods make it more inconvenient to USE your car?

I think a portable jungle gym in your hatch would make it quite inaccessible or useful in carrying stuff... wouldn't you?

Ahh, practicality is an issue for some. But, for those of us that are willing to go form over function, it's not that big of a deal.

Hello everyone, I'm glad that Matt(crexer) pointed me to this link otherwise I would have never found it. I have already scheduled some time next week in which I will be fabricating a crx x-brace for the rear setup and possibly a harness style bar with four points as well. I'm glad to see that there is interest in these. Thanks for the support guys.

Dont worry as far as the cheaper part! I can assure you guys they are quality pieces and under $200!
