Cusco Type OS Front Strut Bar for EK

Just a little heads up for EK hatchback owners...
So I got my Cusco OS front strut bar today for Christmas. When I went to bolt it in I noticed that the bolts to bolt it into the engine bay were not there!! I just assumed that it actually bolted ontop of the struts. There are indentations on where the bolts should be (see MS Paint figure lol), but I guess Honda only placed the bolts into Si's (maybe Ex?). I just wanted to make everyone aware of this while these bars are advertised as "bolt on and easily installed in minutes." Anyone know of any good strutbars for hatchbacks that just bolt ontop of the struts?

Now that is an oddly shaped bar right there. I would definitely question those mounting brackets. Looks like you have some hood clearance issues as well. Santa sure can be a dick sometimes.
