Got my parts in from Tony at Riverside yesterday. I'm too lazy in this weather to get down and dirty. Anyone use a local body shop or dealer?

TIA

 

I would figure ~1.5 hours for the sides and 1.5 - 2 hours for the rear at their normal rate.

 

At least do the sides yourself. It's so simple.

Yeah, I'd say 2 hrs for the rear. The body shop I had do my rear took the rear bumper off to get it aligned right.

 

I put mine on and was not too hard.

 

I'll need about a 30 degree temp increase before I do. It' freezing here. Maybe wait 'til the thaw.

ttrank - thanks for the estimate.

 

yea, I feel ya xman.

My body shop gave me a poor estimate so I was forced to install my sides in pretty poor weather as well. the ground was wet but it was not too difficult. I donned a few layers and went at it.

in case you decide against the shop, the skirts involve a billion clips and a few screws - quite honestly very do-able in cold weather. took me about 1/2 hour if not less.

the rear will be a couple bolts within the trunk...which will require you to remove some interior pieces - I would say find a friend with a garage.

I just tend to avoid them body shops as much as possible - especially with a vehicle as easily scratch-able as a Black G

 

I put my rear on while the bumper cover was still on the car. It saved some time but no way would I do it in the cold!

 

oh ****...its just a lip? my bad

 

dood. these kinda stuff.. u should do it yourself... dont even pay money at the shop.. if u live in chicago, i'd help u for free.

 

Yeah the rear is just an add-on valance.

 

Okay, sio what is the consensus on wheather or no to remove the rear bumber cover to ad the lip. I have seen peolpe saying to do it both ways. My kit shipped from Tony yesterday, my grounding came yesterday, and I am finalizing a deal on a set of 350 track wheels. Going to be busy shortly.

 

Did the sides myself today. 36 degree heatwave. Lol! The rear's going to a shop. Need to get some quotes. Shiz, snow in the forecast o/n.
