I'll be the first to admit, I've never done springs, and I dont have a spring compressor, trust me, if I knew how to do springs, I would have done my own.

I want to do my headlight shrouds too. Is that going to make things more difficult?

According to you only losers need to be shown how to work on cars. I thought you were born being able to do it. Go buy some spring compressors and get to working on those springs.

I had the same company do mine that Jon (ZCarMan) had his done. MRWorks, which unfortunately went out of business after one of the guys got married.

That being said, I'd think it would work, tho.

I think you can take the amber reflector out when you open the lights up.

Talk all you want bro, I've still done more installs than you on the Z. You wanted to troll me about the oil changes so I had to troll you back

You're lucky I don't have my own garage or I would be even further ahead of you
