Nice, here are my install pics:    And the view from inside for those that were worried about getting snowboards in there:  I opted to install behind the carpet. I also applied a coat of silver paint before it went in. Looks like I still need to clean up the cuts in the carpet around the bar a little, but I'm very pleased with the results.

It stop any of the squeeks when going over speed bumps or exiting parking lots?

Those would be my poly end links and sway bar bushings while sitting on Konis/Eibachs. It was reported that the creeks/moans/squeeks would be less when the Hightwoer bar was orignally sold and wanted to get a feel from the RB-STB buyers.

Whenever I get the squeak I go and grease my rear trailing arm bushings!

John, your install looks halfass  To me it looks like you have the bar crooked, and put those end plates behind the carpet. Thats why we didnt make them look like a million bucks, because we figured they'd be out of sight anyway.
I'm not sure by looking at the pics, but it looks like you got the first bar made.
Ryan, your install looks hot man!

You guys REALLLY should mount the plates RIGHT on the actual strut tower metal, not on the carpet. Carpet is not exactly solid, is it?

you could weld it in but if you tighten it up enough it isn't going to go anywhere, mine has been in for 2 years now, its tight enough that you can shake the whole car when you grab the rstb
