Get the OEM replacement part that replaces the existing bar. It is attached by 4 bolts . Two of them serve to hold the trunk key assembly. Its not a difficult replacement but be careful tightening the two inner bolts that hold the key assembly. Make sure the key barrel is centered in the trunk bar hole before you tighten the bolts or else you risk damaging or cracking the bar. Here's a picture of what it looks like up close.
You need to pull back the trunk cover lining to get access to the screws.
Let me know if you need more details. This was one of my first DIY projects.
Good luck
here is a link to the whole thread including the above

i got the idea from that thread and it has quite a few pictures. i think i read somewhere that it is only about a 20- 30 minute install.
i'm getting one for my other car but it is on backorder

The bar looks good too.Straighten up the GS and the 400 though they look a little crooked@_@ or just take them off altogether
