just finish installing... you have to remove the factory plate ontop of the struts to clear the hood... at least this is how it is for the sedan.

Yes they do. My 04 has them. I didn't remove them when I installed my OMP strut bar.

K, install didn't take long.. then i spend 10-15mins, stretching the bar to its maximum...

I guess u can tell the vibrant strut bar is useful in some way because it removes all of my centre console rattles, therefore it is strengthening the front. Maybe is just me, but the steering does feel stiffer. Is rainy outside with many car accidents when i was on my way to the bank, so i am not going to take some tight turns.
