Here is my suggestion to you, return the item or sell it. Buy something useful to relate to suspension. Shouldn't this be in the cosmetic forum?

Huh? What part are you having problems with? I mean it's just some bolts. That's all.

I'm going to guess two of your bolts are too short.

Just think of how scary this is that people like this can actually buy parts for their vehicle and are allowed to attempt to install them themselves. I would arrest him for road endangerment.

He's installing a Beaks bar. I highly doubt any real suspension parts are installed on this car.

so just replace the whole bar?

will the self-tapping screws suggested earlier work? or should i find a stud and use wood screws? or just some duct tape? i could probably pay the cat to hold it there, but only if i have to. i'm new to honda bathrooms so any help is greatly appreciated...

I would some longer self tapping screws and find the studs. You never know, you might have to grab the bar one day?
