Question Cusco rear "V" brace help

how do i install the rear v brace that connects the rear strut bar to the floor of the trunk?

do the bars go angled towards the front of the car or towards the rear of the car?

once i drill holes in the trunk how am i supposed to get the little plate with the bolts in it into position?

i hope somebody can give me a good explanation of how to fit this part in. TIA

oh, its a cusco brace in a 04 Wrx sedan

ok, i get the top part, but how do i fit the bottom part on?

the bracket with the two bolts welded to it that goes underneath the car?

i cant see where this is supposed to go and line up with the piece on top of the trunk.

is there a bunch of stuff i need to take off the bottom of the car or am i just retarded and am doing this the complete wrong way?

IIRC, the bars are towards the front. I will check it tommorow on my car and let you know.

Car Info: .
The bars that come down from the strut bar should be perpendicular to the car (there also should be stickers telling which one is left and right). the silver plate with the welded threads come from underneath the car. When you are under the car it fits snugly in front of the spare tire wheel well. Be careful when you plot the points for holes to be drilled as if you drill to close to the rear seats you drill into the steel reinforcement. I will post a pic of how mine looks...hope this is helpful
