    Undo the bar mounts through the boot floor,

    remove bar,

    remove bar mounts from stock bar,

    and either put mounts onto new bar and refit in reverse order, or refit mounts and cable-tie bar on like I did.


    There's 2 larger bolts on each bar mount, and on the inside of the bar there's 4 bolts holding the bar to the bracket on each side. I found it a lot easier to remove the mounts and take the whole assembly off first.

    I have my old bar and bar mounts off the car ATM, can take a pic to show you where they are. I dont think there'll be any differences between JDM and ADM bars.

    Pull up the carpet in the boot, there is 4 rubber circular bungs, pull these out & there is 4 bolts holding in arm that hold the bar on. There will also by 2 bolts in the pockets (where the jack is stored), & then 2 bolts at the rear arches
