I'm just gonna get my dealer to do mine.

My SM is a car modder himself so I'm pretty sure it'll get done okay. Will report back whether it went good or bad.

Ouch!!! I'm really sad to hear that!

Midas are independantly owned, so I guess I should point out this isn't necessarily representative of Midas. Gomex got his done at a Midas IIRC. We even used a Midas workshop a couple of times when we the need arose.

It depends on who you get. I would ensure you get someone experienced in custom work. Not customised with a hammer!

Or you could just do what Muzz did, and drive up to Bris-vegas to get the expert himself to fit it for you. $40 and peice of mind. :D

Cheers,
Hymee.

Really!??! Not if you don't have access to a hoist and blowtorch. That joint has consistently proven to be a real bastard. Take my advice: don't even attempt this at home unless you have the gear and know what you are doing.

My rationale behind using my dealer is that firstly they've done a good job on the car so far, my SM is not some OEM **** and clearly appreciates worthwhile mods and they know if they want to keep me after the warranty runs out they will have to look after me so I reckon it should be okay.

And Hymee, if you lived a bit closer I'd do that for sure (like, in the same state!). :D
