sorry i had my hands full so i didnt get a lot of chances to take pictures. basically the hatch area of the ae86 is pretty horrible when it comes to structural integrity, the bar is design by UEO to brace it from strut tower to strut tower at the same time linking to the rear frame. an X would be better but somewhat defeats the point of it being a daily and or a hatch at all, i would rather just drive a coupe lol. one issue with making a bar that braces against the rear frame / rebar is impact in the case of an accident, luckily for me jdm bumpers dont use rebars.. sorta
