Once you loosen/remove the 2 bolts in front of the gas tank the straps that holds the gas tank to the car will come down which in turn the gas tank will come done a little...so you place a jack stand with a piece of wood to hold the gas tank in place while you install the JDM brace...you can give me a call if want....I can explain it better

Thanks E.... I have a jack stand etc..I guess the install seems pretty easy..
Do jack the car up from the rear or from the side.. If the rear, where would i put the jack at on the car.. I have a big 3 Ton jack.. Thanks

I jacked my car from the rear gear housing, used a block of wood between the jack and rear housing, make sure you use wheel chocks once the rear is in the air the car will roll.....

How do you know if any of the rear lower braces out there will fit your car if you have aftermarket exhaust?

I have a rear section exhaust so from the pics it looks like it may clear just fine.. But people with a bigger Y-pipe may have an issue..

Hey Dash that wasn't an insult LOL I beleive you..
