I got the car because I love driving it. With the parts I bought, I would rather spend a little more money and have it installed professionally than myself. Because if I do it and mess something up, its gonna cost double maybe triple the amount. I'm also just doing slight mods, nothing too serious lol

The right thing to do would be to find someone local on here to help you install everything. That way it gets done right and you start learning how to work on cars. If you go post in your regional subforum I'm sure there's someone local to you who will gladly help for pizza and beer, maybe a little cash.

My buddy did that once (he's very handy). Pocketed like $7K for his efforts out of the insurance check for hail damage. And afterward, he vowed never to do that $hit himself again lol

I have done that 3x now. my family saved a butt load of $$ doing it ourselves. it's not that bad as long as it's not hot as sin or wet and cold.

Diy is not for everyone. Some like to pay for "piece of mind" knowing that someone else "more capable" than they are did a good job. However, I don't trust anyowashing my car (especially HS kids with jewelry all over) because of scratches. Most mechanics get paid by the job, not hour so they cut corners or use "tricks" when they can.

I Diy because, I have the time, I like to know exactly x works or was done, I trust myself, I'm cheap and it saves me $$, because I'm a bad azz that's capable of doing it. There are other reasons but these will do for now.
