i have it in my car. i like it. doesnt get in the way when i look into my rear view mirror. my back passengers don't hit their heads on it and they have something to grab onto when i make a sharp turn. it stiffened up the rear. it's not hollow, so the bars are a tad heavy.

Looks cool. It looks like it can double for hanging up clothes. I hate trying to hang drycleaning up on the stock hangers.

for me, it was either that bar, or a JDM X brace for the rear pillar/shock towers

BTW: is jdmhondaparts.com the only place that sells that damned sexy bar?

If you're going to put all these expensive "JDM" bars in your car why not just spend $450 and get a rollbar that may actually save you and WILL tighten the chassis of your car?

yea definitley heavy, they are solid brass.
however my rear end does feel a little stiffer
funny thing is i went to a industrial metal supply store and they had the same exact bar that sold for $3 per 8 ft.
oh well
