just installed works rear strut bar- picture!
this is WORKS REAR STRUT TOWER BRACE!
WHAT YALL THINK? THE QUALITY AND FITMENT IS AWESOME.
but it s not that super stiff~ not like stock front strut tower . if u pound it hard. u see some abit of play. maybe its because not made of steel.
but i like how it looks~

looks good, the flex you are getting is coming from there not being a triangulated piece on it like the front bar is mounted to the firewall. If you got their full cage, you wouldnt have as much flex...or something like the cusco piece that is bolted to the center of the floor.
Try putting some vacuum tubing around the edges of the side carpeted pieces to really clean it up.

Your cutting skills look way better than mines...
I cutted the mat the same shape except mines is ugly as hell
You should get the drop bars too, looks even better!
Ironically I was thinking with the drop bars, my trunk space would be wasted but the drop bars keep my stuff from moving around

Yea, the added rigidity is good. but I just have to justify it before I drop the cash on it first for me I guess...It does look good though. I would get the dc sports ti as it is a little lighter, and has no bolts/hinges....plus it would match my front bar...
Thanks for sharing the install...now I want one..haha

the works weights really light. this is one of reason why it flex abit if u shake it or pound it hard.
did u see how strong stock front strut tower brace is? that steel brace never flex , not even abit~ because it is made of steel and weight a bit heavy.

Strange, the ebay rear strut bar I bought for 25 bucks was as rigid as the front strut bar and it didn't move an inch no matter how I tried to bend it. I doesn't look as good as the works bar but I dont care since I dont showoff the back of my trunk.
