A reinforcement (10) is connected between right and left-side front pillars, and reinforces an instrument panel. A section of the reinforcement (10) has a letter-H type shape. Therefore, a torsional rigidity needed for the reinforcement is secured, and a wire harness (33), a first steering support (14) or the liked can be disposed in a space formed by the letter-H type shape, so that space is effectively used. Furthermore, the reinforcement (10) is formed integrally with a center brace (13), the first and second steering supports (14, 15), a passenger seat-side airbag-securing member (16), a striker (17) of a glove box, and the like, by a die-cast method, so that the number of component parts and the production cost can be reduced.

1. An instrument panel reinforcement, connecting left and right side front pillars of a vehicle body, comprising: an elongated H-shaped portion, having left and right end portions; and connecting portions provided at the left and right end portions attaching the left and right end portions to the left and right side front pillars, respectively wherein the die cast material is one of aluminum and magnesium alloy. 2. The instrument panel reinforcement of claim 1, wherein the elongated generally H-shaped portion defines a contour portion holding a wire harness for the vehicle. 3. The instrument panel reinforcement of claim 1, wherein the elongated generally H-shaped portion comprises a die-cast material. 4. The instrument panel reinforcement of claim 1, wherein the elongated generally H-shaped portion comprises a first portion and a second portion. 5. The instrument panel reinforcement of claim 4, wherein the first portion differs from the second portion in width. 6. The instrument panel reinforcement of claim 4, wherein the first portion differs from the second portion in height. 7. The instrument panel reinforcement of claim 4, wherein the first portion differs from the second portion in rigidity. 8. The instrument panel reinforcement of claim 1, further comprising at least one of a vehicle functional component mounting member, a vehicle functional component portion, and a brace portion, formed integrally with the elongated generally H-shaped portion. 9. The instrument panel reinforcement of claim 8, wherein when the vehicle functional component mounting member is formed integrally with the elongated generally H-shaped portion, said vehicle functional component mounting member comprises an airbag securing member. 10. The instrument panel reinforcement of claim 8, wherein when the vehicle functional component portion is formed integrally with the elongated generally H-shaped portion, said vehicle functional component member portion comprises one of a steering column assembly and an airbag assembly. 11. The instrument panel reinforcement of claim 8, wherein when the brace portion is formed integrally with the elongated generally H-shaped portion, said brace portion comprises a center brace extending to a floor of the vehicle.
