Help installing a-spec rear?
Is there anybody in the LA area that can give me hand in installing the a-spec rear for my type-s?

It's coming in tomorrow and I don't feel comfortable doing the install alone.

Of course, I'm willing to pay, or buy you lunch...it's up to you.

I have tools, a drill, and a garage...or I can come to you.

Perhaps an install mini-meet?

Maybe someone around here will chime in and help. If I had time, I might have volunteered.

But, if it helps, there is a DIY in the 3G Garage!

I'm available to help out. I haven't personally installed an a-spec, but i've done my full ronjon kit myself, and I've done an un-install and install for Princelybug. So I know he can vouch for me. Anyways, PM me if you're interested in my help.

food

lol speaking of food, Elliot I still owe you a lunch. I would help but yeah last time I attempted a body kit install was like 8 years ago and it didn't turn out so great.

I will however come to watch and show much support, and offer words of encouragement. I have experience at this from Tim's coilover install.

PS Order the sides as well

Holy moly. Didn't think I'd get this much attention

How about this...someone set up a meet, time and place anywhere close to the 310 or 818. I'll bring the food, tools, and the lip, and we can get it done.

How does that sound? I'm pretty new to all this.

OP, you set it up. You're just as good a person as any to set it up. Your house, maybe? A garage is highly convenient.

gl on the install man.. If I could do it all over again, i wouldn't drill the bumper... just use double sided tape... =)

This is for resale purposes..

EDIT: make sure you buy some of the extra heavy duty double sided tape... the OEM one sucks ass. you can find this at homedepot

I've got 8 or 9 guest spots in there...i'm pretty sure that would be enough.

Friday, Saturday, or Sunday? I'm free all 3 days.
