Everything at the DMV is good to go, but I had some VERY bad stuff go down and I might be going away for a while and might not be able to move. Anyways, here are the pics I took.

The first picture is the bumper removed that shows exactly how the crossmember is attached.

The second picture shows that I did in fact drill through the heatshield.

The third picture is the location of the bolts that go though the cargo bay floor through an appoxiamately 3 inch thick, but hollow, crossmember on the car. 1/2 inch x 3 and 1/2 inch bolts was my selection.

The fourth picture is the same thing but from the bottom. The half inch bar was almost in the way. Give it a slight pull to the rear to give more access.

The last picture is of the tiny amount of clearance for the donut.

In the pictures I removed the donut and tool box. Removal of the tool box is needed so that you can remove the carpet padding to drill the holes.
