to stay on topic i hit over 96k today, and found out about how much my tt install should be....im guessing around 1800$ or so.
Installing my tt was no fun but i would do it myself again. Its something to learn how to do

I'm not sure what it is exactly, but I'm sure a lot of folks would recommend you get all new bushings if you haven't replaced them already.
yeah thats something i deff need to do...so many things to do with so little time and money....

So now I have patches of paint missing from my hood. Everywhere else came off fine.
EDIT - nevermind - OEM paint...FIGURES...next time dude - dont use duct tape...painters blue tape holmes....

so would anyone be down in helping me put my twin in?

of course considering i am 7-8 hours away, i guess i would have to leave it and i could be there on the weekends to help/learn. I would love to learn how to actually put all of this in and save some money while doing it, i would deff not have a problem coughing up some hundreds, pizza and beer if anyone was down, also would be a good time to get in with the DFW scene as i havent really been back there with the G since i got her. I would hope i could trust you guys considering i would be leaving my car and 7500$ worth of parts lol.
