looks good .. how would you rate the install? looks like just hand tools... you have to do any cutting?

btw you need some wheels badly.....

began · 03-07-2010, 09:31 PM

the install was pretty easy..just basic hand tools, you do need to cut out some of the dash supports and almost all the front interior panels need to be trimmed. nothing major but it was time consuming, and yes i need new wheels and tires badly....thats the next majorpurchase
