I already have the front seats out, the lower part of the back seat, the carpet, everything out of the hatch etc... is there an easy way or anything i should know before i remove the plastic that goes from the door jamb to the back of the hatch? or is it just pull the screws and yank it out?

The roll bar is a 6 point and the 2 back bars go through the speaker holes and mount to the shock towers..., anyone have any pictures of how i can do a clean install on those without leaving the speaker grilles off?

I guess im having a hard time with the whole process of getting them on there.. i have to put the halo and 2 back bars in there today, bolt them together, then take it all out and leave it for the welder to weld on saturday. then after he welds the 2 back bars to the halo, im giving it to the painter to paint a gloss black.. which will be a pain in the ass if i have a speaer grille hanging on each side. then i gotta put it in the car so he can weld it to the floor / shock towers. Im thinking it might be easier to just cut a hole in the middle, then a line straight across to the side so i can put them on after its installed... grrr

Cut a line that is parallel to the lines in the grill, and a hole in the grill. BOOM. All fixed
