ITR's don't use bolts to mount the tower bar. They have 4 studs welded to the frame that bar slips over. Then you simply spin some nuts onto each stud and be done with it...

If your car just has holes, use whatever nuts & bolts fit. You might wanna put some washers in there too. Make sure the heads of the bolts are on the bottom side cause you don't want the threaded end to dig into your tires over bumps...

Nope. The fender lining does'nt cover this area...

Wait a minuet! This is not for a ITR?
Then why not say that so the proper advice can be given on the first shot?
This place needs that OG love/hate.

ITR owners never had to install them... or most of them. So there actually might be more info in the other forums then here.

Correct...

And if you don't use flange bolts & nuts, make sure ot use some steel washers on both the top and bottom...
