I know I still owe you for the lid, let me get on that! I take it that this just bolts right up, and hopefully won't be too noticeable.

Looking at the pics and where it mounts up, there will be NO DIFFERENCE at all. All you're doing is putting another solid piece of metal against a solid piece of metal...I can understand the front underbody brace, but this brace isn't bracing anything.

Dude, pls don't be too CONFIDENCE on your assumption.
If there is no use, I don't think Tanabe would spend $$$ to produce a useless crappy thing
I just installed earlier today, feels like the "Tail is more happy" than before, mine is a VERT, so dunno if a hatch gonna have those feeling or not... thats my 2cents and not some kinda advertising for this GB.

Hey vincent as in your floor bar where does it get bolted on?


In this pic its bolted on on the one futher away from the rear. Does yours both on in the same position? Because in your one its bolted on closest to the rear end. Does it work on both pairs the one closest to the rear and the other one too? Sorry if it was difficult to explain.

Yeah, u are right... as the trunk I installed the Bar, the interior plastic are all skin, seems I installed to the wrong spot.

And both pairs of holes are fit, I should install the bar to the further away from the rear like C-ONE

Since every spec are according to the C-ONE, so it will fit

Vincent,
Do you have to cut any holes into the trunk to get the trunk brace to fit? Will it just bolt right up? In one of the pictures I see a screw going through it, I imagine that this will connect to the frame itself?

Also, how difficult is it to get out the spare wheel? I imagine you can just slide out the covering from the front, then lift the wheel out.

It should bolt right on. Take off the black rubber plug and underneath is a bolt and thats where the brace should bolt on.

If that's the case, then I'm sold. If I have to cut into my trunk and frame... no way.

Copy from other site:
"This trunk bar will help the trunk from flexing during spirited driving."
"After installation you will notice improved handling around corners."

No need to cut, bolt right on, those screws are actually belongs to our 6GC Trunk, just remove the black rubber Plug/lid at those spot, u can touch the bolt underneath
