Actually I have two things
1. Can anyone recommend a shop that can rezero gauges cause mine are off and the dealership refused to work on it because the faceplates were aftermarket.
2. I ordered some door inserts and this mod is definitely not something I can handle on my own. My bro is gonna help me too but I need someone with some experience at handling interior mods. Anyone up for the task just respond here. (Joe, I'm looking at you to come over and help out too ^_^ )

Don't worry, now that I've got the graduation money the exhaust is guaranteed. But I got a deal on the door inserts when I ordered a new filter for my intake, before the whole mess set in. :rant: (Plus on the exhaust, I'm waiting for a quote from the guy I might buy it from. It could be cheaper than I originally thought if he comes through)

Well, I just tried to install them myself and I got most of the way until the end where I had to put them back on, then it went bad. These inserts came precut to fit the shape of the area they would cover and the guy that cut them, cut them very short so there wasn't much extra material that I needed to wrap around the insert I was putting them over so I think I may need to go to a shop unless any of you with some good interior experience would like to meet somewhere and I can show you exactly what I'm talking about.

The guages thing might be a pain in the ass 4 u. When ever u put diff guage backs on there ur not supposed 2 take the needles off. Some times it fucks it up where u cant really get all of them back where they read exactly right.

I tell ya, trying to get those gauges on without the needles off was practically impossible. I think I know of a way that I should've done it to get it right but hey, you gotta try sometime, plus it was my first time.

Well, can anyone recommend a good shop for installing something like door inserts? I finally decided this is above my head because I just cannot get those stupid things to go in properly.
no one ever helped you? :[img]http://nwaimports.com/forums/html/emoticons/glare.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='glare.gif' /> I would consider it but I have a lot to do anyways.
I dont know of any places off hand that do that stuff, but I will ask around and maybe someone will recommend someplace. Sorry it was such a hassle, hope you didnt break anything :thumbup:

No, nothing's broken. It'll just be a pain in the aft's end to clean everything back up and put it back in the normal way if I can't find someone to help me put these on. :rant:

Well I tried putting the inserts back on the stock way, and it's official... I'm F$#%ED. I'm an idiot for trying this w/o any experience whatsoever. I have no idea what to do now unless I can find a shop that can put these back on. :cry2:
Hey man... I have no clue what your trying to do and dont know a thing about your car but if you'd like some supervision I could be available sometime thursday or Wednesday after 4 or 5 possibly. If this sounds cool, pm me and we can hookup or something. There wouldnt be any guarantees but im sure we could finger it out.
If you just wanna wait and find a shop, I am still looking around and asking!
