Not to bad... The fronts were cake.. Haven't done the rears yet.. just did the fronts for another set of rims that needed a 5mm spacer to clear the brakes..
you need an old lug nut to pound the old studs out.. then remove the brakes and re-install ... took about 60 min for both sides..in the front.. Rears will go on another day.

I would HIGHLY reccomend this as it makes the job a helluva lot easier..

Man do those look good. I like the clear TOMs but not a huge fan of the shape, I prefer the circular red lights on the stock tails but would like a black housing. Too scared to do it myself though, mostly because of sealing it again.

After doing a lot of highway and back road driving, and going flat out on some on ramps I can definitely say that this car sounds much better with the sound tube plugged.

Oil change and header installed.
I made sure the flanges were flat before installing. Sounds great (if you like the UEL sound of course)

Dropped it for Opticoat pro and now shopping online for a dashcam ! Any alternatives to the Blackvue ?

Compared to the Slammer, which do you like better? And do you feel the difference in the slight weight increase? I have the ashiko myself but always wondered if I should have gotten the slammer.

It's more than just a slight increase. Closer to a 100 gram weight increase from the slammer to the Ashiko.

On phone I am. Therefore, if mistakes I make, Frank Oz blame you should.

They are both nice. I think you'll be happy with either one. I really like both and the feel is almost identical to me. I just prefer the looks of the ashiko after installing it
