HI Curtis, I'm considering these for my car but wanted to ask a few things.

First, do you have any installation pics that show the mounting points?

Second, how does this bar effect your ability to remove the entire front end? Does the bar have to be removed first?

I didn't take any pics as I was installing, I probably should have...I do have the instructions with very bad b&w pics.

regarding removing the front end, I am not sure if the bar must be removed but if thats the case it would only take about 2 minutes since the front bar and the side bars are actually mounted onto brackets that are mounted to the car. so with a socket you could take all the rails off in about 5-10 minutes max and only the brackets would be still installed and I'm 99% sure you could then remove front end.

I'm no gear-head and far from a mechanic but it was pretty simple to install once my car was up on the ramps.

I will take some pics of my car and where the mount points are and post them this weekend.

I was thinking of the same thing. From the front, they very much look like handles.
