Can you post up some pics and a write-up for when you put it in? That would be a huge help for when I scrape the $$ together and pick one up myself.

Thanks for all the info and tips guys. I actually just decided to have a local shop I go to do the install. This thing is my daily driver, I haven't worked for over a week, got a hot date this weekend and can't risk running into problems with the install. Anyway they quoted me $250 and I should have it in this Friday.

If you aren't going to post up pics of the install, post up pics of the hot date!

For $250, I MAY have had the local shop install mine as well. But was quoted $400-$500 by everyone in town ...

I'm going to take on the install with another member on here. Will probably not be until next weekend though, the sis gets married this weekend and I won't have the time to get it done before we leave.

I'll do my best to add appropriate pics to already available text...

the rear is not that hard to do. it seems scary at first but its really pretty simple. kinda repetitive but simple. but then again i have done it alot here lately.

good choice on the trutrac by the way.
