It's super simple. Just remove the three strut tower bolts on both sides under the hood. Put the FSTB on, make sure the bar is arched upward to clear the engine (it might rub the hood liner, but that's ok), and torque the bolts back down to 32 lb/ft.

Actual factory specs for the strut tower bolts are 29-40 lb/ft, but don't overtorque..it can break the strut bolt studs.

You might want to borrow a torque wrench if you don't have one already. Peace of mind and a proper install... right?
