Depends on how confident i feel in doing something, that acura service manual i found online helps a ton.

I swapped some lines, pads and rotors by myself and they still work haha! Fluid changes i can do.

Had a shop install the coilovers, and camber kit.

Love to have a bigger garage, more tools, and a spare car for when the other one is down.

Some of it really depends how fast I want it done as Im pretty busy with 4 kids and work.

You installed a supercharger, but had a CAI installed by a shop?

I perform my own work on my car as much as possible! I call in the professionals for the difficult modifications

lol yeah it sounds funny but the CAI was the first mod (Aug 05)and I was still learning the design of the car engine and other things. The S/C went on this past March and kuddos to CT-E for their instructions and pretty pics

My TL? Goes to the dealer for just about everything. It isn't worth my time to muck with it these days. I bought this car specifically so I didn't have to work on it anymore. I have done my own maint on my previous 5 cars and now it just isn't worth my time. I do not mod my cars anymore either. For the most part, I would rather pay someone else to get dirty. My how time has changed my viewpoint on this.
