well the intake i installed myself.. was pretty easy. im just looking for a shop to install the coil overs

Word.

You've already dropped a considerable amount of money on installation charges it sounds like. If it's because you simply don't ever have the time to do stuff, it's understandable. But if you're just worried about messing something up, there's so many DIY's and people to ask questions that it's hard to screw most things up. Doing suspension with someone who knows what to do the first time will make it seem so easy and you'll be able to tackle it yourself if you ever have to do it again.

And same with the reverse HID's and stuff, those installs really aren't bad and you can really save some money. Not to mention the satisfaction of telling people "Yeah I did these mods myself."

Nice car btw. Hope to see you at the Hopkinton meet July 17!

i understand what you're saying, but i work at my dads restaurant 11am-10pm 6 days a week so i have no time to do most mods myself.. i only do the mods i know im certain of doing without help & the reverse HID's, he never charges me for installation only for the items & after he finished doing it he charged me even less because it wasn't that bad of a installation
