I will say again that the rear Spoon bar goes in without any trouble at all and look terrific with it going thru the cutouts in the trunk liner.

Yes, in some cases the front Spoon strut bar can rub. It does on mine, so I just bought a roll of thin weatherstripping with adhesive on one side. I just put in on the hood where the bar was making contact. This weatherstripping is foam, so it doesnt affect the fit of the hood, it compresses and takes the form of the bar. You can buy the foam from Home Depot Motorsports.
The rear bar is cake, the most tedious part is figuring out where the holes need to be, but all you have to do is put the brackets on w/o the bar, then put the panels in place so you can feel where the holes should be. Get a sharp razor (thin box cutting type), and your set. Go ahead and cut a hole for your Koni adjusters if you have them.
