there ya go, took me a while of trying to figure out how to install this to notice how its done, they should have instructions cause its hard to miss it. hope this helps u guys.



and ps, in the back of mine i didnt use styrafoam like op did, i cut out that back plastic like he did, unbolted the metal part, then i bent the part that hast the hole in it where the factory plastic tab goes in to hold it up, i bent that so it faces toward the back of the car instead of down, used a hammer and a anvil, i did have it bending slightly down though, then u cut off access metal with a rotary tool and cutting disk cause it has a lip on it, then filed it flat, bolted a longer peace of metal to it facing me, so when i put the deck it it sits on the bottom of the deck and holds it up and keeps it fron dangleing in mid air, its a little more work but i didnt want styrafoam in back there that maybe could fall out. no worrys about the deck slipping back with doing the mounting plates right, when u bolt the front plate into ur car in factory location where u bolt the stock one, it wont be moving anywhere.


there ya go for a secure clean install. enjoy
