Anyone in the DMV are have experience installing this mod? I and just about ready to order but don't fully trust myself on doing the install on my new car...but don't necessarily want to pay a shop 2+ hours of labor to have this done.

Any suggestions would be appreciated and I'd definitely be up for compensating you for your time.

Thanks!

Hope you find someone to lend a hand. It really is a very straight forward install though. I was nervous about ripping into the clutch items myself at first but when I got going, it was a breeze. Climbing in and out from under the dash 20 times sucked the worst. I am a fat *** too so that did not help the situation either

TL;DR If this fat, old man can do it, so can you.

That is good to know, cuz I resemble those remarks. Fat and age tend to put a crimper in flexibility.

Yoga, start NOW
It wasn't THAT bad. If I had to do it over again I would have tools in the footwell with me rather than sitting nicely laid out on the bench

Haha thanks for the vote of confidence. My mechanical knowledge goes as far as installing pads and rotors...so I'm definitely not a pro, but if the hardest part is getting in and out from under the dash, maybe I might just give it a go.
