Default Factory camber bolt locations ?

Can anyone post some pictures of the factory camber bolt locations ? I've searched and have not found what I'm looking for.
I need to adjust the camber on my car
Thanks

Both front and rear are on the lower control arms! Just look for a bolt that has a plate washer!

Thanks for the info. I'll be getting to this as soon as possible.
The camber bolts on my EVO X were on the struts, easy to change and they had indicators

I believe it has indicators as well!! If I am correct the front is on the inner lower control arm and the rear is outer lower control arm!

Cam bolt right above the jack stand. It's an aftermarket LCA, but the bolt location is the same.

Question, my car is at about -2 degrees on camber all the way around. I went to a shop for an allignment after I raised my car up a bit. They didnt adjust the camber but rather the toe (they gave me a spiel on the camber of the car blah blah). I have about a 1 1/2 finger gap all the way around. Can the negative camber that was caused by the bolts be adjusted back to factory settings by this shop? I dont see why not... I understand there is going to be some camber due to the lowering of the car but I'm not lowered a huge amount. My concern is getting the camber bolts placed back to stock position and then worrying about the rest which I understand will happen if I have my car lowered.

In back, they might not be able to bring camber to factory specs, but they can definitely do it up front. My car has a little less than a 1 finger gap in front, and my shop can hit -1 degree with .05 toe in. I've got Fig's Mega Arms and toe links in back, so I have a lot more adjustment than you.

If you're unsatisfied, see if any locals with dropped cars can make a recommendation for an alignment shop. I wouldn't keep bringing it back to a shop that does bad work.
