Creative for sure, but you could have just used an eBay rear strut tower bar, an adjustable one. By the way do you have a sedan or a coupe. That would make a difference in how easy this mod is as well. Definitely am interested in seeing how you did it.

...there is no rear strut tower bar for a 6g. there is no rear strut tower bar because there is no room for it. even more of a reason that theres no rear strut tower bar for a 6g accord is because the tops of the strut towers are already connected to each other via the unibody of the car. a cross brace for the trunk hole is about the best you can do in terms of rear bracing.​

As Andy stated, they are not made for sedans, and also there is not much purpose for this - but anything can be done. Even though the results may not be significant, technically it WOULD serve to reinforce the chassis more. It would also add more weight. If I were to do it - I would only do it for fun, but I'm going to skip this mod because I am just getting a rollcage :naughtyrun:.

i have a sedan, and i thought about buying the cheep ebay one, but after looking at one in person, it seemd to flimzy to fabricate to fit back there, its a tight fit.
