mikl1976,

I just did mine 2 months ago by myself, and you know what, I thought it was a pain in the ***, but it is doable. i used the directions from both clarks garage and paragon products. between those two, just follow the directions and all should be fine.

And like jabadeznuts said, do a search as well, and you'll get a lot of good info. Just do a little homework and go for it.

by the way, get the true oem mounts. everyone will tell you that they are the best and will last the longest, its worth it for the extra money. I got mine from paragon, great service.

ha ha, I hope people don't laugh at me, but it took me about 7 hours with little breaks hear and there. I'm sure I could do it faster now. But it got done, and my car feels brand new. Best thing I've done to my car so far.

When it comes time to do mine, I'm thinking about using Lindesy's "supermounts".

It took me about three hours with the instructions from Clark's Garage. It was not that difficult. Just take your time and follow the insturctions. If anything doesn't go right or you are not sure about post a question here.

Mike, they are quite expensive, but if they are a preminate option, then it makes them worth EVERY PENNY!
