The last thing to do, and this is optional, is to cut your engine cover so that it will fit with the AutoExe strut bar. If you do not plan to reuse your engine cover then this step can be skipped.

I placed my engine cover on and marked where the autoexe bars were. I then cut of, a little bit at a time, the side of the cover using a dremel with a cutoff wheel. After a couple of fittings and trimmings the engine cover fits. You then will use the supplied foam strips and place them along the section that you cut.

And this will give you


Snap your fender liners back in, put the wheels back on, drop the car back down, pick up your tools and your good to go.

Wed I will be visiting a buddies shop to get on a lift so should have the Member Brace kit writeup sometime after then.
