cross brace installed [pics]

[blacksandiegovitz]

Heres a couple quick pictures of my install , not fully finished yet. Need to trim the interior pieces to clear the seatbelt mounting hardware and make a flat cover out of thin plywood to cover the spare tire hole. Fits good but needed to cut a piece of metal out of the spare tire area to clear the bottom bar . I had an old megan c-pillar bar I added to the top of the "X" for more "mad tight jdm looks" lol . This was able to be installed with the rear seat in place BUT It will not sit all the way back meaning , it won't click into place and might collapse on the back seat passenger in a crash , be warned . It really stiffend the whole car up , its feels a lot harsher on bumps and slides the back out pretty good under tight, sharp, fast turns , I never thought it would make such a differnce. I'll do a full write up with better pictures when i'm done with the install.
