I did this mod about a month ago, it does help a bit, and i spent about 25 bucks for all the hardware. and i did use aluminum, over steel, but it felt like it was "flexing" to much, so i went to steel and it seems to work even better, but does weigh more

Doesn't anyone post pics. I hate joining S#$Tto get stuff on the net.

Interesting mod.
It couldn't hurt anything.
Good job.
Did you color that with the blue marker in the trunk?
Any way here the pic of the trunk bar.

Still not digging it and that picture you showed of the IT-R looked like a homemade version as well. I've never heard of the IT-R having one of those stock. Anyway, still a waste of money in my opinion. Looks cool though, which is pretty much what most of the mods to our cars do anyway, so more power to you.
