Didn't really push it this morning on my way home due to traffic but it feels stiffer on bumps and noticed that the car is a little more responsive on sharp turns. If I have time today I might install the rear strut tower brace. Also picked up the lower mid body brace but need to extract the 2 mounting bolts since they snapped due to being rusted. Might be a week or so before I get to that mid body brace. Need to get the drill bits and rethread kit so I can get those bolts out

How difficult was it figuring out where to cut the holes in the liner? I have the same rear bar sitting in my parts closet but have been too lazy to figure it out lol. Looks good though

I put the ends on first and torqued them down. Then put back the cover and made my cuts with a box cutter while feeling for them.

****Update ended up taking off the ur rear bar due to rubbing issues with my exhaust. Seems like the rear bar will only work if you have a stock exhaust setup. I ended up bending it up so it doesn't rub on my exhaust and it started to rub my sway bar brackets. End of story is it is now sitting in my trash can waiting for the garbage man to pick it up****
