    Me too...I know with the holidays around the corner it might be hard to do one. I am thinking in January sometime. Let's wait til after comes and brings new goodies for the car (hopefully).

    I suspect that there might be enough interest for both.

    If we wait that long I might have a Roll bar to add to the list....lol
    Then again I may just pay to have it installed if the price is right, I dont have any cutting tools.

    All you need is a 12" 3/8" drill bit and tin snips. A dremel makes carving the plastic easier, but it's not a necessity.

    Tin snips are teh suck. Buy a cheap Dremel if you don't own one already, and buy a pack of fiber-reinforced cutoff wheels for the sheet metal cutting. Way faster, and sparks are cool.

    Just FYI. You should not change the oil immediately after the seafoam. Wait at least 300 miles or a full tank of gas. then change the oil.

    Thanks, I knew I had heard about that and was just searching to confirm the actual miles...in that case I may just do the fuel system this time and the oil next time. Thanks again!
    I really need to change the oil so I will still be doing that.
