Installation is not bad at all. You will need some basic tools, and a drill to drill just one 14mm hole which will be hidden. You should also have a small amount of primer and touch-up paint to properly dress that hole that you drill.
It's a very clean installation overall and if you ever sell the car and want to remove it to sell separately you can do that no problem. If you want to browse the installation instructions to see what's involved drop me a PM. |
Hey, thanks for the tip, I will investigate..ESPECIALLY (now don't hate me Michelle/Laura), but I can't come to CT either. I took a new job and there is a customer event in Atlanta that I gotta be at..and it's that day.. I literally just found out about it Wednesday.. In fact, as I was leaving the hotel I was staying at I saw a vehicle that immediately made me think of Michelle. I snapped a couple of quick photos with my cell camera..sorta as a way to let you down easy.. Anyone who needs wants to know why there is THE ultimate Michelle thing..well, you need to ask her...
