The polished oil cap and battery tie down is easy to install yourself. Might as well just install that on your own and save yourself 95 bucks.

try using some break loose spray it should do the trick. You can get a can at Pep Boys or Kragen.

if not than just heat the bolts up like my friends do at the performance shop. Works everytime. If your not that far from philadelphia i could ask him how much he would charge for installation if you want.

I'm glad you werent serious, that woulda been a new low for this forum. I know people on here dont like installing stuff themselves, but jesus christ.

Post up some pics when you figure out how to get them installed.

Do you have an Icebox?

I found it damn near impossible to install the battery tie down with the Icebox installed.
