Thanks and yes. I plan on doing the HD front bumper with nismo sides and rear along with HD trunk. I would do the nismo bumper if a great deal came my way and was closer, hint hint LOL.

The urethane bushings don't need to be pressed in by a shop, just coat them with grease or anti-seize and push them in by hand. You can use a ball joint press to get the old ones out, Autozone loans them out but you'll need a vise.

What the hell??? Every DIY I read said that a press was needed. I could have saved a day, $85 dollars and did that myself if I knew that.
