So no drilling was required? The only thing that needs 'modification' is that some spacers are needed to keep the bar secured?

first you want to start by taking out the bolts. when your done doing that, bolt in the back ones leaving them loose enough to move the brace around


here is the plate. you can use washers to make it sit flush. it barely fit with the plates.





line up the holes and tighten the bolts in the front( i know the right side is not done in the pic) and this is how it looks all done. then test drive and feel that tight ass

wow the bottom of ur car is VERY clean !!!....and looks likea good day out to work on urr car !
i think i am going to attempt to put mine on ....
u figure out the front yet btw ?

yeah no snow in san antonio haha.


its really easy man to put in,
just leave the back bolts loose enough to were you can align the front.

bolt the front in and then go to the back ones and bolt those in.

a few washers will make it flush

working on the front one as we speak

welp the front brace is a NO GO.

it deff doesnt fit. the bar is a few inches too long from its mounting point.

so here is the line up

front strut bar fits
rear strut bar fits
C pillar bar fits
rear lower bar fits with washer mod
front lower brace does not fit(few inches too long)
fender braces are on there way

Damn that sucks that the front doesn't fit. U wouldnt happen to have any pix of it not fitting would ya? I'm wondering if i could cut off the part of the bracket that is too long and re-weld them to fit. Do the bolts line up at least, just too far forward?

no i dont. you could if you wanted too. you could drill a hole where it needs to be mounted but it would be hard to get a bolt in the 2 little holes
