Mugen strut tower bar install.....?
Ok so my girlfriend bought me the Mugen strut tower bar for x-mas (and since we live alone we decided to have x-mas early) now to the point. Incase none of you have purchased any Mugen parts before the directions come in Japanese and the pictures are less than helpful.
Best i can tell by the pictures there should be 4 studs coming from the shock tower area that it bolts to. well after looking under my hood i dont seem to have these studs. rather in place of where they should be i have 4 oval punch-out looking tabs. after reviewing the parts list provided in the box everything is there....so am i supposed to go to the hardware store and buy the studs, and then drill/punch out the holes? any help would be appreciated (i have a 99 ex or EJ8 for those of you who know your chasis codes.

you can't expect them to make the instructions in english or bolts for a US car, they obviously made the strut bar for JDM civics which came with a the stock strut bar and the bolts
