Drill and drillbit would be a first step. You will need to remove the wipers, cowl trim and likely the wiper motor. It's generally straightforward. Mount the bar to the shock towers, then locate your holes on the firewall. Center punch, drill a pilot hole, and then drill out to your final diameter. Apply rust paint to the edges of the hole, the install the bar using the proper bolts and lockwashers.
