Default Civic Type R (CTR) Front Strut Bar Install?
Anyone installed these before? I know on the USDM EK Hatchbacks they have a place where the holes are supposed to be, but they just need to be drilled in or something...

Anyone have instructions and a parts list on what i need to do this?

SOME cars have the grommets...not all.
All you need is a drill and flare nuts (8) and bolts (4).
Self explanatory

just bolt that bitch in, drill the holes, and make sure the bolts arent to long. If your car is low, you'll have to work around the wheel.

dont push too hard, and if it is that dull, it is time to replace.

the most common thing is people use the bit for wood, so they push and the bit breaks
i know cuz i was that dumb once, just make sure its a metal drill bit
thats all
good luck
