c-pillar bar

I don't know if this has been brought before..sure it has tho...

Is their a significant difference between the $40 c-pillar bar that hondafittuner.com sells and the $300+ c-pillar bar j's racing sells.

besides the obvious price differences and one says "j's racing", I was thinking maybe the j's is probably more durable or watever?

thank you

you're paying for the looks and the brand name.

C pillar bar is pretty much bling stuff not many difference made by such small bar.

I think rear bumpers support bar and carbing rear reinforcement bar are much more useful.

I was thinking about getting the hondafit tuner one as well, just to have the look of the cpillar bar back there (plus I hate how the J's one looks, and the T1R is to expensive)

Its a cheap bar that I can repaint what ever color I'd like :3

I have the hondafittuner C-pillar bar. When you get the box it says its for i think civic/integra or something like that, but im sure most c-pillar bars are universal as they are adjustable. I couldnt see spending the money on a T1R or J's racing bar. Its solid enough for me. I can grab it and shake my whole car with little to no flexing on the bar. So if you dont care about the name, get theirs. Its cheap, and works like any other.

I just installed HondaFitTuner.com's c-pillar bar today. You're going to need a bunch of M10 washers to make it mount properly.


I put one washer on the outside of the mount and one inside.


I put three washers, which I enlarged slightly with a drill, on the seat belt bolt so that the bar's mount won't hit the plastic roof.
