Sorry for the delay guys, I collected these few pics from last weekend's two car meets that will give you some insight into this mod with the HKS Hi-Power. Everyone loved it because it shows the canisters with the top portions as well.

It's really an easy task that doesn't require much directions.

You'll need:
-Corded power drill
-Selection of different sized metal drill bit (make sure they're strong enough to go through the alluminum support bar)
-Strong self-tapping screws

Directions
-First you'll need to get under your car and remove the two plastic tabs in the center of the rear bumper
-Then you'll be able to "fold" the bumper up and fold it until it hits the alluminum bar (don't worry your paint won't crack)
-After that you'll need to mark three points - one on either ends of the bumper and one in the middle and get ready for drilling
-You'll need to use a small drill bit and start drilling through the bumper and into the alluminum bar.
-Then use the drill and place a phillip head and screw the three self-tapping screws into place.
-Done!

That looks sooo freaken sick on your black Z! Be prepared to have people ask what the top canisters are for

Yeah bro it's a lot easier than most people think. Hopefully this will help some others. I will update the front page with more pics and info soon.
