I aleady had them done. That is why i asked how much everyone paid because i felt like i got ripped off. They charged me 300. I like me my mechanic and he does a great job and custom work but i am going to stop going because they are to expensive.

I can't believe it takes an hour and 15 minutes to navigate from any two points in New Jersey. Thats like nuts. It takes me an hour and 20 minutes to drive to my hunting land in Virginia FFS and i'm in Raleigh, NC. 1 hour 15 minutes from two points in NJ is like it taking that long for me to drive to work LOL.

Dont you have to pull up your carpeting when you get your subframe connectors welded on? What about getting your torque box welded? Doesnt the carpeting look kinda ****ty once you have to put it back on?

Did you guys have to bend them at all during the install? I have the MM full length and there is about a 1/4 to 1/2 in gap whn I test fit them yesterday.

Yep I had the same issue. what we did was tack the back have of the sub frame connectors on then took a muffler jack or you could use a transmision jack and jack the front half up untill it fits snug then tack the front half on. thats what we had to do to one side and the other side the rear seat pan plug was hitting so we had to trim it down a lil. other than that it went on easy

for some reason the instructions say to point the logo on the seat brackets forward and that didnt work at all. we had to point them backwards, it was like they ected the logo on the wrong side or something or weird because they sell so many you would think it would be right. no biggy though.

If you need any pics or anything I can take some for you to show you what i meant about the seat bracket.

Whats so hard to believe? When I go to Cape May it takes me almost 4 hours to do the 200 miles. I live in the northern most town.
