Front - take the 3 shock tower nuts off, place tower bar in aligned 3 holes, reinstall the nuts(repeat on other side!)

Rear, essentially the same thing, except you may have to cut some notches or holes for the tower bar to pass thru the trunk carpeting

^^^agreed. But you might need to remove the metal plate, before mounting the STB.

Good Luck
