um..over the rear struts
look at your rear interior and examine the panelling. there's a little cut out spot on it. pop those out and you'll see the rear strut towers. directly over the strut (shock). whee the shock bolts to the car (top)

They connect the rear strut towers together. Open your trunk and look at the shock towers. There will be a little plastic panel on each one that you can snap off. That's where the strut bar attaches. Basically it's right below the rear deck (where your rear speakers are).

there is no cut outs at all, wtf?.. lol i searched the entire back

huh?  keep looking, they're there.

If you fold down your rear seat back they should be pretty easy to find from inside the car, too.

ACtually, I don't think that the cut-outs are there on the coupe.  He has to cut the trim himself.

I sold a rear stb to a friend that has a coupe and he did the cut-outs himself.

Hey-

You can do the cutouts yourself or just remove the rear panel trim. I did, took me about 20 min and then I installed the bar. Here's a pic of the bar in my coupe. I just hope the pic isn't too big... If its too big I'll just post a link instead.
