Looks great! Is this done using common hand tools or did you have to use air tools to do it?

Common tools should be fine. Just make sure you have a jack and probably a 2x4 wood holding the gas tank up. It'll make the install MUCH easier.

There should be two bolts that you need to take off to install the JDM bar. Those two bars are also what's holding the gas thank to the chassis. The belts you see on the car are there "just incase" should the bolts fail
