Does this look right?

[Splat]

Ok we here in the U.S never recived the CTR, so all i have to go on is pic.
I ordered a CTR rear rebar and put it on.....2 things came to mind.
1st does this look right? or should it be pulled out a little more?
2nd.....how save is this in a crash?

If I'm not mistaken, it just bolts in with pre-selected holes, so how could it be wrongly placed?
In a crash it's of course going to be a little less sturdy than the stock beam, but not by a huge margin.

I think it would be by a huge margin, you talking about a thin tube here!! Most argue that the piece above is not even a bumper reinforcement and actually acts more to tie the rails together for chassis rigidity.

Its just that iv been looking at other pic's and mine seems a little bit to far in,
I put it in the correct holes, just wanted some confirmation.

did you see any difference in rigidity? How much did you pay for it? Can you provide as with a part number? Thanks a lot!

The ride feels the same
Price, $100.00 U.S.
Part number.......i dont know, i bought it used.
But JDMland.com sell them.

Yes that's true, for some reason I forgot it's just a tube. They don't have the same safety laws in the Japan as they do in the US, it really is just to tie the halves together.

The weight is next to nothing.
I think the U.S. weighs about 30 to 40 pounds, the CTR i about 3.

I was thinking that same thing, this may be one resion way the CTR was never brought over here.
