I understand the front strut bar and lower arm bar but the rear strut bar I don't quite understand. The rear strut bar is fitted in the boot right? Wouldn't it block space meant for luggage/storage? Can be quite inconvenient right? Never seen it before, so don't know what it looks like fitted.

Yes, it's attached in the boot section. It will block some space in the boot, no doubt. Plus the fabric, you probably have to remove or cut it. That's why I'm not gonna put that since I don't want to sacrifice my boot space.

Done

It's just a long piece of cylindrical bar that's fit inside the boot and it's straight unlike the room bar. It's usually placed at the very top end portion of the boot, almost touching the ceiling so there's no issues with space. Depending on the car design, there maybe screw holes for you to lock it to the chassis, otherwise, you will have to drill a small hole to lock the rear strut bar in. If you don't want to drill holes then the next best option is installing Anti-roll bar.

It's at the very rear and top corner of the boot. You will not lose any boot space.

I took a look at the NHC's boot earlier, and I always thought you will attach it (see pic, the red color circle) there where the suspension screws are.. Do you mean you can attach it at the green color circle portion there? If so, might need to drill some holes..if I'm not mistaken



P/s: I apologise for the lousy pic size and poor attempt to draw..hehe!

I had mine done in the green portion, though it was in a different car. I had to drill holes. I believe you could do the same. But if you don't want to, just install ARB.

Most probably I'll miss the 1st TT as my NHC haven't arrive yet. I'll join you guys after I get my baby.    Good luck in the first TT yah, guys. 

Well, I don't think it's overboard. Spending on bodykits and rims or induction / exhaust mods will cost more than this Scotchgard. At the end of the day, I guess it's an individual preference. Some prefer a nice clean and polished stock look, that's why people put PPS or wax their car often and perhaps Scotchgard it.

Hi guys.. just wondering whether anybody is interested in getting some UR strut bars for your NHC?
I'm thinking of getting the 2 Point Front Strut Bar and maybe the Lower Arm Bar. So, if anybody is interested,
