These guys claim to have a step by step 'how-to'

I put mine in about 5 years ago, didn't it come with templates so you can trace where to drill the holes in your interior? Is it from CDC? If so call them and ask them for the whole set of directions, you will need those templates or you will mess up the installation. I cannot stress enough how much you need those templates.
Measure and measure again, and again, you don't want big 2 inch holes drilled into your rear interior that don't belong.
A 1/4" mistake and your installation will look like crap. take your time, it took me the better part of the afternoon, but next to my Saleen Hard Tonneau Cover, this was the best cosmetic mod I have done to my droptop.
You should look into getting one of those, cost was $500, another $500 to have it painted.
Worth it in my book, it really seperates the car from others on the street.
Good luck, and enjoy, my friend.

I've often thought of putting a rollbar into the fastback but haven't really considered a lightbar in the 'vert.
hmmm. That could be tasty, indeed.

Pile is right. Take your time because if you miss the cut & youre sunk. I saw a butchered job on a fastback years ago and it looked like poo.

Yea thats the thing it is a CDC lightbar but i bought it from a guy on craigslist. I gave him $500 for the lightbar and the hard saleen tonneau cover. The thing is i dont have any bolts or those templates to install it, but i wasnt going to pass that deal up. How would i go about getting those ?

you really need all the hardware and the template to be sure on what your doing. I just recently did one on mine and believe me, having all the right tools and that template are a must if u dont want holes all in your car that are un repairable. Im sure if you call the company they can sell you the bag containing all the hardware and template.

Like I said, call CDC. They will give you complete directions, make sure they include the templates. They will probably charge you, but it is worth it. You got the Tonneau Cover too?? Great, so do I. It will make your car stand out BIG TIME. I got jacked $500 to paint it, if you look around you should be able to get a lower price. Good luck
