i charge $10/hour and it will take me 36 hours so $360.

nah but, find someone on here whos willing to help with or without experience. its pretty straight foward. just start early in the morning so you have all day to work on it..

im sure shops would charge $200-400 just for the install.. have fun and learn to do it on your own!!!

uhm when i installed my own fmic and did it in my garage it took me about a good 6 -7 hours including cutting the bumper beam, bumper, and re tightening everything after i went on a test drive and found some of the clamps slightly loose.

I think the next mod I'm going to do is to go out and buy some damn tools, thats the only thing I didn't bring with me from Utah and I am regretting it.


Actually I'm not since shipping tools would be ridiculous but still...

haha, sorry, i have a big sense of humor.. it was a joke..

cutting the bumper for me was a pain in the azz.. especially when your using sheet metal cutters.. i started at midnight and sorta finished 6am...
