Default Issue with installing ITR strut bar on a LS.

hey,

i just recently recieved my ITR front strut bar, i went to go install it but where there is suppose to be screws pointing up, there were rubber hole plugs. i know the gsr and itr come with strut bars and have those bolts for the strut bar, but how do i install a strut bar on my ls if i dont have them?

how do i got about getting these bolts and what size are they? do they attach to some else other than the strut bar?

just jack the front of the car up a little and you can get to the bottom of the wholes easy thru the wheel well. I also used washers when I install a gsr bar in my LS

i also used an rubber washer in the wheel well in addition to the metal one so no water would leak up in there.
