I had this old strut bar layin around and didn't really know what to do with it. I figured I'd see if it would by any chance fit my 09 Si sedan on Thursday 2/4/09. After fiddling with it under the hood and seeing that in no way was it going to connect anything significant there. I moved to the trunk area to find a home for it, hoping it would be long enough to connect the strut towers or something...longshot, but hopeful nonetheless. After looking at the trunk area through my mind's eye for about 5 minutes I decided to mount it up behind the rear seats. I didn't think to take pics in the process (mostly because I figured it wouldn't work and I'd wind up throwing the bar back in the closet), but here's what I wound up with:
rear view
from the inside with the seat folded down
Now, I get done and think to myself..."this really doesn't DO anything, but it looks kinda cool and puts this hi dolla titanium strut bar to use, so what the heck." Then, yesterday (2/5/09) I'm looking at A&J Racing's selection on J's reinforcement bars and and notice the black bar mounted across the rear seat opening!! I couldn't believe that Honda engineers determined that there needed to be a brace in the same location that I had just installed mine. I nearly LOL'd myself to death!
