Im sure I could build something to fit perfectly. It obviously would arch upwards above the rear seat or out behind the front seats a little. Then again, I could also build one for people who dont have a rear seat and just have it go straight across as well. Just imagine how well the car would handle if you had a B pillar bar, floor bar, and front and rear strut bars. *lol* Plus not to mention sway bars, and a good set of springs.

Hmmm...I know what my weekend project is gonna be. smile.gif If it turns out pretty well....I might start selling them in the HA store when I get it up and running, for all Hyundai's as long as I get measurements. It wouldnt be too difficult to make.

That wouldn't be bad to make, althought the chassis is pretty stiff through there so I doubt it will be as dramatic a difference as a strut tower brace.

Ummmm............................Why? Sorry man, but that IMO is as ugly as the one that goes across the floor (which they make for the Elantra). Unless there is no back seat in the car, that would be a huge no for me.

It will help a little bit for structural integrity purposes of the car and handling, but I'm more interested in using it as a harness bar to attach a 4 point seat harness to. smile.gif
