OEM Legend Strut Bar => 2.5 TL
This only took about 45 mins, BUT ITS NOT AS GOOD AS THE DIY FOR 3.2.
Tools:
-Drill (regular drill, not necessary a right angle one)
-6 bolts (5/16-18) with hex caps (up to you).
-Tap
-The thing to make female thread (I got them from homedepot) (5/18) (sorry I dont know how its called)
-Hacksaw
-OEM legend strut bar with bracket.
1. Remove 2 bolts (yellow)(we will use one of them to mount the strut bar to the fire wall) to move that black box, so we can have more space for later. The red arrow leads to a rubber grommet (2 or 1 I forget).
2. Use the drill bit, which comes with the thing, to make the little hole on strut bar bigger. Use tap and the thing to make female thread. Then screw the bracket and strut bar together using 5/18 bolt.
3. Mount the bracket (with strut bar) to fire war using the bolt that we took from the black box(1).
4. Cut the bolt on the bracket. Remove the bolt which is holding a clip. Fit the bracket with the hole, and put the bolt back.
5. Drill a hole on the bracket, and make female thread.
6. Screw the bracket and strut bar together using 5/18 bolt.
7. Dealing with 2 ends
8. Put the black box back with ONLY 1 Bolt on the right. Done!
P/S: This is a sloppy way.

Not really! U dont have to drill any hole on the fire wall. I drilled 6 holes total!
I replaced the spark plugs and the wires last winter. Get them from fleabay for around $35... I dont remember exactly how much
