Default Need help with strut tower brace install

I have searched on here and I can't find any instructions. I was wondering if anyone knew where I find some directions to installing one on a 03 GT. Thanks

what kind is it? I have an 03 vert I just put one on. I got this one from a friend. I didn't think it was too bad but it does take some time, because of all the things you have to take off near the cowl and fire wall. I could probably type them up for you if you think it could help. I had to drill two holes by the cowl and three on each strut tower. If this looks like the one you have email me @ craigh4575@yahoo.com and i will type them up for you. I would take a pic of them but I don't think it would very legible.

That's a piece of cake compared to the Maximum Motorsports strut tower brace i just installed on my 2003 Vert.

That one is 10 holes in the firewall and pinch weld and 3 holes in each strut tower for a total of 16 holes.

It made a huge difference on my vert.

Mine looks like the one from the steeda link. Do they really help that much?
