I'm planning on blowing a lot this summer. Roll fenders, spacers, new wheels, paint the rest of my interior black, PCD or SCD, and remote start/push start system.

I would have if I had any buddies that would have helped me, or a garage instead of an apartment, or any type of jack other than the oem one that comes with the car, or a spring compressor. Many aspects that made me get it done at a shop.

My coilover install: no buddies, apartment parking lot, OEM jack

Although at the end of a 9 hour install I almost feel like it would have probably been worth it to spend the $150-200 to get them installed. BUT IM A MAN DAMMIT.

Yeah, I wasn't trying to spend an entire day doing my springs lol. Plus it was pretty much free for the install cause it was the money I made off of selling the LED door sills that I won.

I used jack stands. Getting the car up high enough to put the jack stands under with the oem jack though was pretty difficult though. I had to stack plywood to give another 4" of lift.

haha thanks. I was pretty sore everywhere the next day. I also went out yesterday and bought a real floor jack. I've been putting it off for a while and last weekend was the final push I needed to get one.

Well, paid 33k after taxes, 2 oil changes ($65), window tint ($180), LEDs (~$30) and decklid ($47). Much more to come after I get a stable job so I can pay for mods .

Matte black to cover interior faux wood pieces - center console and door switch trim. Second matte black was because I needed more since I messed up wrapping a few pieces.

Gloss black - grille(future) and B pillars
