Its good enough. IIRC mine only has one more bolt... not a big deal. you really just want more surface area off teh unibody to make the chances of it ripping out less likely lol. I wouldn't worry about it.

Each side has 5. 3 where the stock bracket mounted than 2 on the driver side that connect to the steering, and I put 2 bolt's through the unibody on the passanger side aswell.
