damn near broke my finger... I pulled as hard as i could on one side and it popped out... then had bend the clip back....

i would say just work on one side. once one side is free it is easy. it is soooooo much easier to show vs tell. should have taken snapshots while installing, i knew those directions were kinda lame.

i probably didn't help too much.

good luck!

Thanks for the link and info to that show. I have heard about it a few different times but haven't had a chance to get to it yet. I actually live just 6 miles or so from that place so plan on taking my car there this summer. It would be fun to get a bunch of 8's together for it.

Did you get your exhaust on yet?

So.... I got my car all cleaned up since it's been above freezing. Even changed the oil and tranny fluid. Then my brothers car broke so he needed to borrow mine. He's a pretty good driver so I said sure why not, even though I hadn't really driven it yet since I got it cleaned up.

Well aparently it was a horrible idea because while he was driving down 94 some idiot with a big plastic ice fishing sled in the back of their truck went flying past him and the sled flew out and hit the hood and bumper of my car dead on. Dents and scratches. And of course the guy kept driving while my brother tried not to crash.

So if any of you are missing a plastic sled thing, you owe me some body work.

Pics to come.

Of you could purchase a bumper and hood, they are easy to swap out.

PB Blaster works awesome at loosening the bolts. Even better is heat.

I recommend replacing the bolts with stainless steel bolt and nuts.
