Default does a rear strut bar exist for my car?

97 4 door
from where the struts are located, it doesn't look like there's much hope for a rear strut bar. to even see them i have to move the shoulder rest parts of the rear seats and they're really confined/hidden. i'm sure some of you have seen them.
so is there no hope?

There's hope man, I think eBay would be your best bet. All Accords have the strut towers covered, hence, you'll have to cut a little to poke the bar through, but it's nothing major.....I have one in my 90-93, same setup.

Looking at my 6th gen it would be impossible without putting holse through the seats and giving passengers a metal bar for a headrest. U'd see some brain fragments on the back windshield if an accident occured. I don't know how the 5th gens are. In the trunk maybe? or still behind the seat?>

I have a rear strut its a DC and you do have to cut a small hole in each side of the carpet in order to get the bar and the bracket bolts bolted together
