Whole install took under 30 mins... but the item wasn't an exact fit as advertised and did require some minor trimming. It is also made of a paintable poly-urethane so you can match your car | | | 05-13-2012, 11:20 PM | #2362 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: Rodeo, CA Posts: 226 | Quote: Originally Posted by eldiablo666 You're right it is from ebay. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/300559071507?...84.m1497.l2649 Cheap ( under $50 ) and easy to install with a few self tapping screws.

For those who may not know, the air filter housing has four snap openers, one on each side of the air box. I had to loosen some things to be able to reach all of them. | | | 05-14-2012, 04:34 AM | #2365 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: SW Florida Posts: 4,275 | Sanded down the new bumper cover. __________________ Sean 1995 Active | | | 05-14-2012, 04:53 AM | #2366 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2011 Location: Broomfield,Colorado Posts: 664 | Went and got a new diff (just going to use the cover), sanded and painted new m3 mirrors black | | | 05-14-2012, 05:55 AM | #2367 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2012 Location: Sacramento, CA Posts: 2,451 | Quote: Originally Posted by black98 Went and got a new diff (just going to use the cover), sanded and painted new m3 mirrors black | What paint did you use?

Posts: 3,156 | I repaired a broken headstock on an old cheap bass one time and touched up the paint with rust-oleum and bufed it out. It looked better than the cheap factory black! It buffs out quite nicely! | | | 05-14-2012, 05:20 PM | #2370 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2011 Location: Westminster,Maryland Posts: 159 | I put installed the 8.5 magnecore wires and gave the ti a bath. | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
