That's exactly what I do.

Edit: Gainesville? Lol no thanks. It would take me over an hour just to get to the cruise start location and over 3 hrs to get home.

I'm iffy on the columbia meet, and a nope on the cruise. I want to get my summer wheels back on the car and I really need to clean my air filters but more or less dreading ripping the front fascia off again. yeah I know its not hard, just time would be a lot easier with a second set of hands.

Yeah, it's always better to have two people to lift it off after the clips are popped. Likewise with putting it back on. Although I managed just fine back when I installed my oil cooler block off plate.

Yeah. Unless you want to scrape the nose on the ground.

You can do it alone by laying a ton of towels down in front of it but I wouldn't recommend it.

I do it alone without scraping and no towels.

All about technique, really.

I've heard from several that you have some of the best techniques in town and the fact that you don't scrape or need clean-up towels just proves how special you are big guy.

Love the avatar Al! Best game ever.

I always loosen both sides as much as possible, as in pop everything out near under the headlights without having them hang on the ground, then pull from the middle

Yeah, you can do that. It's just a lot easier to have a friend take the other side. It's not a heavy item, just cumbersome.

And I usually lay it on grass to avoid scratching.

I loosen both sides near the headlights, and then pull it away from the front by myself. The reverse, for putting it back on. It's not a 2-man job at all.

But it is easier with two, faster certainly.

Why is this a black and white issue?

Easier with two? Debatable.

More homosexual with two? Yes. As we have proven. Even more

with a threesome? Yes. Again, as we have proven.

Whatever, "garage prose", you guys are so good at things and stuff. I'm super impressed.

It is an easier job with two people, because moving an object of that length is easier with two. Knowing the dimensions and seeing where you're going. Holding the object in a more stable fashion.

And unless you're able to physically teleport from one side of the car to the other, it is faster for a second person to be popping in clips.

It is not rocket surgery, whether it is done by one's self or with a friend, but it is faster and easier with someone else there, even if marginally so.
