I really need to move to a better city....

At Advance, you pay for the tool up front, but get all the money back when you bring it back. IDK why they didn't explain that.... idiots.

also you should consider the door panals. very easy to do!

Yes, did the rear wall and the rear wheel-wells. Good tip on the doors; perhaps next weekend. Did you notice a big difference doing yours?

Deep breath. Beer. Repeat as necessary. All will go well!

That's the kicker. The guy flat out told me they don't do rentals. The advanced auto here is just sketchy to begin with. I went to it years ago when I first got into cars and the guy behind the counter wouldn't even acknowledge me when I asked what socket I would need to remove the oil cap off my old Cobalt

I installed a 2CH amp to better power the factory sub. It perfectly mounted on the housing for the bose amp and the strut bar just barely cleared it.

Beer is easy. Tools might be a different story. Hopefully we can get our hands on an air compressor and some power tools.

Stressful? I'm just paranoid it'll decompress into my face or something.

Ahhh... cool. Lets hope it arrived by Sat. so we can get that installed too! The TopSpeed is... LOUD. lol. I absolutely love it... now I'm just dealing with tracking down the dreaded hatch vibration that everyone seems to get after installing aftermarket exhaust... only at around 4k rpm

Air compressor? check. Impact tools? check. Spring compressor? check.(finally)

I think we're going to be fine... and hell, we'll jsut make my son use that damn spring tool. (I'm not losing a finger! lol)

This is going to be great!

To be honest I did it all over a few days and didn't test it. The doors do have a nicer thump when closing?

The biggest thing was it reduced the pinging noises in the rear hatch.

Doors are fairly easy. 2 bolts to remove then some plastic fasteners come out. The lock assembly is easy to unhinged and re attach.

Took me about 1 hour per side for the doors. Well first one took longer cause I was cutting and pasting. Other one I just outline cut and slapped on did some touch up spots that weren't covered

Yup!!! Figured I'd buy local hahahaha. Sorta taking a shot in the dark though since only 2-3 Z's have them since they're so new to the market. Should be really really interesting.

Leingod · 05-11-2016, 08:37 AM

Although yours (IMO) look nicer. I love the cans on the back. Just makes the car look lower than it already is and gives it a nicer look.
