Let see...if I remember the order correctly

jack up car
remove wheel
remove front splash shield (3 screws / 3 snaps?)
remove two Phillips head screws retaining marker
install new marker
reinstall screws
reinstall shield
etc...

I'm almost sure that's it.

Great, I think I'll tackle this tonight. What do you say about an hr all together? Did you need any extenders on the tools to reach?

shouldn't be more than an hour/hour and a half with a floor jack. It's easier on a lift which is how I did it. Just screwdrivers. Be carefull with the snap in retaining clips, easy to break although cheap to replace.

Did you remove the whole gaurd, or just enough to get at the reflectors?

Sweet dude, yeah I didn't get a chance to get my reflectors in yesterday. I got home on the later side from wrk and don't think I'll be able to get it done today, thanks to the rain we are supposed to be getting. No Garage FTL.

Looking to put the word out to other car clubs in the area so we can start growing this bigger. If you have friends, know other enthusiasts, ect, please put the word out. Omega and I are going to try and post this on other forums and are actively looking to talk with other club leaders to start something large for these weekly meets.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD.

I know this is kind of a long night, since its in NH. Suck it up, we only have a couple more decent weeks left in the season and I think this would be a lot of fun. We can crusie up there and then put our cars to the test!

Thanks

I'll know for sure around lunchtime tomorrow if I can make it. I'll post up here of course... I'd just like to finally meet some of the local talent around here.

I'm younger-- 25-- but a Z/G enthusiast and a car nut all around... I even have a couple muscle car projects I play with on the side. (67 Mustang Fastback, 69 Charger).

Hopefully I'll see you guys there!
