I have no problem driving the distance at all. Why do you want $100 on top of it? I thought you got it straight swap out?

Its basically to add in a little black further down into the lip area. The way I'm picturing, it should look sick with a 2 toned carbon fiber hood and an intercooler in that larger more defined space due to the color.

oh that should work out then. I dont know anyone who has put on a turbo kit before so I'm just going to go with my instincts. I've been reading and watching tutorials on it so I'm pretty sure I can do it.
Good luck man

I feel ya. I would have been worried about putting mine on by myself also. Its always a good idea to have someone with more experiance looking over your shoulder.

If you didn't live so far away I'd help you no questions asked. I had fun during my install. If you can get a used RRM kit the hardest part like everyone hears is tapping the oil pan and thats not hard at all. Its just getting it done right. If you can get a parted out oil pan and do the tapping yourself before hand you saved yourself about 2 hours right there! If you have any questions about the install or whatever just let me know. I'll be glad to help! My install with two people working on it majority of the time took about 14 hours.
