I made one for my 05. It uses the 3rd bolt shown (up/down) in your pic, if I remember correctly, as the front/ rear holes weren't on my 05. I think these bar were first used by OEM only on convertibles.

I'm not sure what the difference is because my 06 Vert came with it from factory. The coupes didn't and the idea behind it was the Verts flexed more and needed more support to remedy that. That's why they also came with the rear support bars.
With that being said it may help those that don't have them because they did start putting them in the coupes in '07
BTW my suspension mods will be done as soon as I get my Whiteline front sway bar from American Muscle that I purchase yesterday during the show. My Vert handles like I'm on a rollercoaster. The difference has been night and day. The only thing left that is stock from my suspension is the rear UCA. Won't change it unless it becomes a problem, meaning if it rips out.
