Damn Icebox took me 5 hours to install. . .Got pulled over. .
I'm not that great at installs, but thought I'd give this a try since it "looked" straight forward. I was going to do it Comptech's way by removing the bumper since I didn't have jack stands. Ended up getting all the hardware off and was removing the last screw under the grill and stripped it clean. . . 
After a few curse words, put the bumper back together and then continued by removing the left front tire. I was going real slow because I was afraid I'd miss something. Too often there was something missing in the instructions that I would find on this board to watch out for. Thanks everyone for posting your installs. That helped a lot. I had my laptop in the garage while installing. My neighbor thought I was tuning the ECU or something. Little did he know how little I knew about car mechanicals.
The Icebox is great! It really pulls now more than ever! In fact I got pulled over by the police while I was doing a WOT run with my head out the window.
I was trying to listen to the "growl". Luckily he just gave me a warning. . I thought FOR SURE I was getting a ticket. . . 
On another note. I noticed that the Auto-up/down on the driver's side didn't work until I put the code in for my Navigation and Radio. Could that be linked together??
And yes I do know what a turn clicky thing is. It's just the other stuff I have a hard time with.

You guys don't listen to me. I told you if you're not mechically inclined, forget this one. It took a professional mechanic 3 hours to install this on my car...without removing the bumper. Congradulations for having the patience for completing this job. Your a better man then me. Enjoy!

springs, sways, and icebox in 2.5 hours? It took me almost 2 hours to do my sways, although I'm far from a professional mechanic. Even so, that makes me wish I lived closer to PAA.

I know! I should have listened, but once I started I had to finish. I needed to drive to work in the morning. . .
