do the rear upper strut tower bar,, it will complete your box setup front to rear and it really helps when you are running 19in and up stagg wheels , bigger contact patch more stress transfered to the towers , the bar will keep things nice a tight , works great for me

2. how do you know where to cut the carpet/ are there any wires in danger ?

one reason why i don't have the rear bar is the space, which i can't afford to lose, and that's probably why i will never have a rear stb.

do you have wheels, coilovers, and sways already? just wondering

It does make the trunk less usable. But smaller items can be placed behind the bar and they don't roll around the trunk.

Rear STB isn't a space hog unless you've got a sub box back there. I actually like having the rear STB because it holds stuff I stick behind it.
