Anyhow, the idea is to make those, so you can use rear tower bar you desire.
I still working on some clearances issues, but I'm getting ther..
Lat me know who want one, so I know how many is needed. And give me a price youll like to spend on it, keep in mind, those are not that easy to make, and time consuming. The first one took me 2 hours.
Re: Custom Strut Braces for the Rear..
it really depends on what your gonna sell them for, honestly. I cant really name a price id wanna spend, cuz it would be hella low lol.
Re: Custom Strut Braces for the Rear..
yea, I dont going to ask like 100 bucks for it
more like 20 for a set..

it just a brace, You color it your self in color you want and buy a strut from 90-97 accord and place it in.
Re: Custom Strut Braces for the Rear..
I'll take a set too. ...you might need to raise the height of the brace in order to clear the plastics so that the bar will attach through the access panel instead of needing to cut the plastic. Sick welding skills Tom.
Re: Custom Strut Braces for the Rear..
Damn son! u work fast!
lol glad to be a help to you man, but you can use any strut bar off ebay that has the little bolt/allen key thing on the adjustable end.... one sec let me show u a pic..
Ebay link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_Car-...ht_2901wt_1071

just something like that, cheap ebay stuff.
and to clear the plastic and stuff someone else would have to test fit it, cuz my trunk is gutted.
to answer the question bout the amp, it depends on the bar and the amp+ mounting location. I had to move my amp from the back of my seat because it wouldnt let the seat close all the way.

damn you and your 3D wizardry.
...I'm thinking even a little higher (don't remember just how high the plastic comes up) ...I'll get a pic up very soon
Re: Custom Strut Braces for the Rear..
hey, try not to make it extend too far out wile u raise it, other wise some bars might not fit. but if it has adjustable end then you should have a good 2 in of play room.
Re: Custom Strut Braces for the Rear..
I'm in..
Can you design the bracket/mount for the front strut bar also
Re: Custom Strut Braces for the Rear..
^^ if someone with a DC front bar would like to help the yes, he could.
But im currently going to try and make/design one using a 4g front bar.
Re: Custom Strut Braces for the Rear..
I really need a rear bar and $20 for custom brackets is very reasonable.
