Rear sway bar with spare in trunk?
So I bought a used 05 Touring edition yesterday. In the lot I looked at two 8s, the aforementioned 05, and an 08 which I think was a touring as well. Inside the trunk of the 05 there looks to be a strut tower bar with some kind of plate in the middle of the bar. Looked like it would hold a spare tire or something, but no tire to be found. It looks kind of OEM, just a black strut tower bar. Funny thing is I don't remember seeing this on any 8s I've looked at. It wasn't in the 08 they had on the lot either. I would take pics but unfortunately I had to get the car inspected and won't see it till next week. Is this aftermarket?

That's it! Makes sense. It looked like it might stiffen the chassis a bit though. Maybe it's just not bolted down to any real part of the chassis.
Thanks expo!
