Default c-pillar bar install?

looking at buying a c-pillar bar for my 92 eg. Anyone have any idea how to install one? Ive already done front and rear, upper/lower strut/tie bars no problem.

Pics, walkthrough, etc would be awesome! Thanks

It bolts where the rear seat belts bolt. Atleast I think my buddys bolted there.

I have a question. Why are you installing these bars? Are you simply looking for that "look''?

it's been said a million times, but I will say it once more. Anything above the shock towers is a waste.

Not to mention unsafe....

But yes 98 is right, it bolts where the rear seatbelts bolt, where your passengers once would have sat. No more w/the C-Pillar LOL

Just to add they are illegal when/if you have passangers in the rear seat.
\At least here they are.

Just think about, would you like you get rear ended and have your dome come into contact with a aluminum bar at a high right of speed?

I know I wouldn't.
