Great. Thank you guys! I’ll grab these items next week. I’m guessing we can do this installation ourselves with maybe a pair of home car ramps?

Has anyone bolted this on a ex sedan? I can’t locate a threaded bolt in that location...

That’s what I meant, the actual hole. I have the bolts. From the pictures in this thread the hole location isn’t threaded.

Anyone received theirs lately? I ordered one a few weeks ago and was told they're out of stock and they don't know when they'll get stock again. Checking a few parts suppliers they're definitely all out of stock!

I wonder if any other chassis bracing for the Type R like this exists that would fit on our SI's

Just installed on 17 si sedan. Pretty easy but you have to remove most of the mid body under covers.

Also get the bolts from Honda - they dont carry bolts like these at hardware stores.
Once installed, can you just put the plastic under body panels back on and do they fit like they did before the install?

Since my car doesn’t have the threaded holes can I just have it welded in place?

If you weld that it’s going to make it and the subframe rust faster unless you repaint it after the welds.
Did you try to put a bolt in and thread it in, or did you just look at it and could t see the threads? Mine didn’t look threaded but they were.

I put the entire bolt in the hole and it just floated in there...twisted it and turned it and there was nothing catching. I was under there for a good 30 minutes trying and pissed off.
