Hmmm..... Look good.

I don't know what that rear upper bar is supposed to do though.

Make your hatch stop rattling :chuckles:. There is a good amount of flex back there. Mostly for the strut housings.

doesn't the trunk cage act like the 3 point strut bars on the market?

yes, it make the rear end of the car much more stiffer. Act like the sway bar and also the rear strut are tie into the trunk.

we have done these in subaru, evo and some other application and the result is pretty impressive !
