If I were you, I would first hold the step up close to where it is to be installed. See if the mounting holes correspond to bolt locations underneath the car. I would guess most of these steps and bars install without drilling and using existing bolts. Depending on the thickness of the brackets, you may need to get slightly longer bolts than what are there now. This might be a place to start, anyway.

That would be great if you can provide some photos of your installation. Greatly appreciated.

Each installation is going to be different, unless you have the same step.

Usually the manufacturer will provide instructions. I installed on one a Jeep before but not on my Lexus. Make sure you torque the bolts on properly (assuming manufacturer provides torque values) as vibration over time may cause uneven bolts to loosen.

Sorry in the delay on posting pics.
Here's what I have. Probably was done by the dealer back in 2000.
