Ummm, it should be pretty self explanatory. Take off your speakers in the rear strut towers and expose the top strut mounts. Install the plates for the rear bar on either side and cut 2 holes in the rear shock towers for the bar to pass through. Mount the bar and you're done.

Jon is correct... You'll need to make provisions in the factory strut towers for the lateral strut bar to pass through. Otherwise the unit will not be able to be bolted to the fasteners that mount to your strut tops.

Good luck.

Seperating the carpet from the metal around the strut towers makes things much easier/neater. The metal will drill out MUCH easier this way (it's very thin). Then, just cut a slit in the carpet for the bar to pass through on either side, it will look great.

I actually used a new hole saw on my drill that was *just* slightly oversized for my rear bar (mine's circular).

The holes saw cut the carpet and metal in one shot and leaves and extremely professionla finish. Perfect fit!
