Stillen SC question

This is definitely not something for everybody to do themselves... besides the mechanical experience electric al experience and fuel system experience is needed. And it's *very* tight under the hood and especially in front of the engine.
I'd recommend looking at shops to do the install, but only if they have done one before. Get the best shop you can find who has done it before, even if you have to go to another city.

OK then!!! I will forget the self-install, I've got skills but for a "GRAND" it's not worth it. It's always best to have someone to go back to just in case of a glitch. Plus there just so happens to be a shop that just opened in Oceanside that I think are just the guy's for the job!

You'll really enjoy the car when you get it back - it will be an entirely different experience.

The install isnt all that hard, for a DIY, you can do it in a weekend easily.

Just waiting to receive my lip so that I can have it painted and installed, once that’s done it's back to the performance side of things. I strayed a bit and went with some cosmetic mods, I installed the Type III wing (looks awesome), now I'm just waiting for the Carbon Signal Spec-ME Front Lip. Once done I'm planning on pursuing the SC mod very soon. I will say that for a very and I say very short time I was considering NOS, but that’s out. I was following a thread that one of our fellow members was posting, he destroyed his engine with a 100 shot!

I feel really bad for him, yet thankful for the info.
Stayed tuned,
TommyGuns
