OBX style Bar

good afternoon.
i bought one of these style bars from MX mania today. There is any pointers on installing the bar? from the looks of it, it needs some cutting of the plastic trim to make it fit.
Any pointers would be tops

Cheers

Regie an earlier post was lost in the transition. If you bought the product from Mania I would expect that they would have advice available on installation.

i don't think they should, since they sit not much higher than the na seats.. and the na seats are fairly low imo compared to nb8b ones.
i can't brain today.. i have the dumb..

Hmm.. the pictures ive seen show they sit quite a bit above the NA seats and only just above NB seats?
Just heard that they are a tight fit on the early hoods.. Guess ill call Mania tomorrow and check :)
