This isn't rocket science or a crap shoot.

The 4" x 6" oval pieces you have are the replacement upper strut mounts.

Jack up the front of your car. Loosen the upper shock (strut) nuts (the big 3/4" nuts). With the front tires off the ground and the nuts removed, you should be able to push the shock ends through the mounts and into the fenderwells. Be careful releasing the pressure after compressing the shocks.

Prior to removing the upper strut mounts on your car, mark the locations of the bolt plates inside the front trunk area on the fenderwell sheet metal. The front plate has one bolt through it and the rear two bolts. They are gently curved 1/4" steel. You can mark these plates with a scribe or with tape. If your car still has the original black insulation/sealant, you will have to break this away before loosening any bolts.

With everything marked, you can remove the 3 allen bolts that hold the upper strut mount in place. There will be serrated washers under the bolt heads. It looks like you will need to re-use the bolt plates that are currently in your car, so don't pack them away when you remove them. The strut mounts come out from the fenderwell side.

Install the new mounts in the reverse order. Yours do not look like they are sided left or right, so don't worry. You'll have to hold them side by side and verify this or post a better pic of the two mounts side by side here. Hold each mount in place with one hand from underneath the fender while re-installing the plates, washers and bolts from the upper side. With the bolts hand tight, align the upper plates to your marks you made earlier. Once in the proper location, tighten the bolts to spec, I'm guessing 45ftlbs.

Reinsert the shocks from below. If you can start the threads for the large nuts, go ahead. If they do not protrude, simply start lowering the jack slowly. Either way, when the car is back on the ground, tighten the large nuts.

At this point, you have replaced the old stock rubber units with the new monoball units.

Now it is time to add the strut bar. Slip the collars over the strut mounts, but do not tighten yet. Loosen the jamb nuts on the crossbar. Slip the cross bar rod ends into the collar ears and connect the hardware. When everything is loosely installed and aligned, gently start tightening the crossbar. The crossbar should be trying to pull the tops of the struts toward the center. But, remember, just easy tension right now. When you have taken out the slop, tighten up the collars. Then move to the bar end thru bolts and tighten those. Finally, put a 1/4 turn of tension inward on the crossbar, then set the jamb nuts. Do not crank down on the crossbar (which acts as a turnbuckle). You are simply trying to hold the current position with the crossbar.

If your car needs an alignment, remove the crossbar, this only seems to confuse/piss off alignment personnel.
