I would if it was a Friday or Saturday but need a break from beer for a while :p

On a great note, I know where I am going to get my 105k service done - North Dallas Imports in Garland. It is the place Fade recommended where he got his service done.

I called them up just to make sure and they know what they are talking about. For all OEM parts (timing belt, water pump, drive belt, tensioners, spark plugs) and labor they charge $625. That is $500 cheaper than the dealer. Fuck yea.

midnightcivic where are you in Dallas? It's looking like my weekend will be fairly free, I wouldn't mind meeting up and helping out if you are close enough. Though it looks like this weekend is going to be kind of lame and rainy.

sometimes your advice is just fucking stupid Nelson.



Its a pretty straight forward install. Your old side skirts slide forward or rearward then off. I pryed on them thinking they just pop off. I fucked up a few of the plastic holders.

The front lip should have a template on where to drill. I think the rear one does as well. If youve never taken the rear bumper off I remember that being a bit time consuming.

But overall I had it done in a few hours. if you have any questions just ask !

The only really thing I'm hesitant about is the drilling. The sides look like the easiest, I'll just take my time and do it right..thanks

Hmm, that's a little bit of a drive for me. Especially if its going to rain this weekend, I don't think I'll want to drive much.

you're only drilling a few holes for the front lip in the center where it mounts.
the rest of the front lip is held on with double sided tape. If I had to do it again I would stick it all on there first...make sure the sides of the lip are all stuck really good.....then drill your holes...


the rear one is easy once you get the bumper off.

the reason I say put it on there first is because one of the holes I drilled was off just a bit but that made the drivers side of my lip tweeks out a bit....you cant really tell unless I pointed it out...

I wouldn't mind the drive i just don't know if the whole kit will fit inside the car. Sucks that rear seats don't fold down
