Default Rear brace bar removal/install?

Hello peeps. So I've googled and also searched in the DIY section and cannot find any info on removing/installing the rear brace bar. I'm thinking of getting this Powerhouse Amuse R1 Titan Brace Bar, and I'm trying to find out if it's a simple mod. Don't want to just start pulling apart my interior not knowing what I'm getting into. Has anyone done a swap, or have any info/link to a DIY? I'm guessing it's not a popular mod and might just forget about it. Thing look so damn sexy tho, esp paired with burnt titanium Arc shift knob..

You need to remove 98% of the panels from the seat back to the rear bumper. Download the FSM and take your time.

^ easiest way. Also when putting back the biggest piece make sure the anchors are lined up before inserting them. I bent one on each side.

Dammit why didn't you guys do a DIY thread on this? Lol. So besides taking apart the panels, are the connection points pretty straightforward?

And GaleForce.. What's FSM?

FSM = Factory Service Manual

Straight forward. You need to unplug rear speakers, and the light in the hatch,

Do a search for the Robispec bar install. Should include 90% of what you are looking for. The other 10% can be found in the FSM.

Edit: Here you go: Robispec Harness Bar Install
