Help !.....I saw pictures of Daddy-O's black beauty w/ the above bars installed and decided to get one for myself.
Now, I have the parts in hand and have some installation questions.
1. Where's the t-bolts go ?
Better yet, if anybody has any pictures of how the brackets (front & rear) fits to the frame of the car, that will be very, very much appreciated !!

Here's a .jpg of the instructions I picked up from WAAG.
When you're crawling under the RX, you'll see flat circular, disklike raised areas in the undercoating. They are 1-1.5 inches in diameter.
Under the undercoating are rubber disks that pop out and the long end of the t-bolt fits in the round hole that was covered by the rubber disk. You have to carefully cut away the undercoating to reveal the rubber disks.
Push, with one or two fingers on the undercoating where you see the outline of the disks. If you push on the right spot, it will flex and give a little, as you've hit rubber instead of steel. I used a pen knife to cut the undercoating away.
These disks are vertical along the edge of the RX and horizontal underneath. Look at the mounting brackets and test fit them where you think they go. You'll see these circular raised disks in the undercoating.
Like I said, just push and you'll feel it. Once you find one, examine it and you'll know what to look for when trying to find the next one. It quickly get easier. I mentioned in my post that i went faster as I proceeded.
Good luck!
