As for man hours, I really can't say. I'm doing a full body kit, fuel upgrade, TT intall, spacers (intake and oil), UTEC and tuner... etc etc.. Doing it all right here in my garage. I'm even going to attempt painting my kit myself! YIKES! I'm the kinda of person that likes to get my hands dirty. Sure i could have had this done weeks ago, but what fun is that? I want the pride of being able to say "I did this". I've turned every bolt and feel damn good about myself. This way if something goes wrong, and i'm sure it will, i'll be able to dive right in and fix it myself. From oil leeks, to tuning issues, it's all me baby!
Lucky for me, this isn't my only car. I can finish this how and when i want. No time table, no stress. Just pure enjoyment and a love for my car. I'm even leaving a few blood stains on the block from my banged up knuckles... That's passion.
