anyone in the So Cal area that knows how to install the shift kit wanna help a newbie DIY lame a$$?
I am just horrible at DIY and I know if I attempt this relatively "easy" install I will mess something up. Anyone around So Cal that definitely knows how to do this easy and smoothly...and can help me? I am hesistating on buying the kit since I wont have anyway to install and I dont want to take it to a shop or the dealer to get raped.
I can pick up lunch or dinner? Any kind souls out there...anyone in the holiday DIY mood?
If I can get someone to volunteer..I will order the kit immediately. I am just lame...and a chicken.

Where in So Cal could I have it installed?
$200 is still $200...I rather save the extra money for something else...take a fellow 6speeder to lunch or dinner and make a friendship...much better option.

guys... its not that hard. The more you dive into modding, the better you get to know your cars...and this will save you money in the long run. You will know if your getting ripped off by others who will take advantage of non DIY. If you just try and follow instructions you should have no issues... worst case there are plenty of people here that can answer your install questions...PM me if any... go buy one, install it, and I gaurantee you will fall deeper in love w/your Pcar more than ever.

OK I did it....I ordered it.
I emailed Arling at Lucent...and his price is comparable to the rest and I dont mind supporting a site sponsor so all is good in the world.
Thank you Bumperplugs for the great offer. I cant wait to experience the "greatest mod known to P cars!"

The install is not that hard. Have confidence. The instructions that come with the kit are very straight forward, and clear.
The hard parts are:
removing the cable clips and cable from the shifter housing and
cutting out the old bushings to remove the original shift lever.
Even still these steps are not that difficult.
Besure to start the job when you will have plenty of light to work in. Take your time. Play some music, have a beer. Work slowly and methodically. It shouldn't take more than 2.5 hours for a first timer.

I just ordered one too ...had to see what all the fuss was about
I'm going the DIY route too, you two chickens should man up and give it a go. I ran across a full color photo tutorial the other day and it looks pretty cut and dry. If i can dig up the link i'll post it.
BTW, props to Eric for getting my order FAST!!! i got my fedex tracking number only a few hours after i paid...A+ my man!
