Could you share a photo of this? It's hard to visualize exactly what you did, but I am interested in trying it.

So, I can report that I put in a 20x30mm bar, this is a bit too wide and it hits the exhaust just a bit. Just FYI :-)

Here are the pics. Like I said, it's quite concealed. It runs on top of the sheet metal brace, connecting the two rear most bolt holes on the diagonal braces. It tucks under the exhaust on either side (my exhaust is totally custom though so I can't speak to OEM setups) and then bolts drop down from the top and go through the bar, the sheet metal brace, and diagonal brace) and secured via a nut on the bottom side. The oem bolts here just knock out from the bottom-up.
