I have gone down the track a few time, but I dont any good. Need some practice and yes we plan on doing the install oursleves. The only things I haven't installed on my car myself is when my car needs body work. eg. ZL1 bumper and my rear diffuser. Still looking for someone to install my ZL1 hood insert.

Why not body work??? U mean like because of the painting including? Cuz I know u know that swapping bumper is easy and removing rear bumper even easier.

We just got done with a group buy. 713 for the kit. It's normally 1100. If you are lucky, you can call Dan at by-trex and see if u can get the same deal.

Do u have auto or manual? Also, if you don't have drag radials or slicks, it's a waste to burnout on street tires.

Paint and body. The ZL1 bumper needed a little modification before install and so did my diffuser. I perfer to have a shop with the skills and tools do it correctly.

I could do the hood insert myself but I want someone to cut the hood and the insert needs to be modified to fix my hood. Ohhhh yeah and the insert needs to be painted.

Let's see how the install goes first. I might be like this by the end of it
