I'm the same way, I can do electrical work, but I guess I'm more scared of screwing up the body, because it's so obvious.

I can't wait to get them here though, still. Just sucks, they'll be starting right at the beginning of my work week, and I work the next 4 days almost all day. But they've gotta be on by Friday..

A roll is so you ti won't scrape, you roll the tiny little flat metal piece of the fencer on the bottom. Then there's a fender pull, that's when you actually pull it out

Yeah, thankfully I had someone home. I can't wait till tomorrow morning. Hopefully it'll go smooth, unlike the sway bar install I did.

Ugh, wish I had edit. But heck, they were put on a Fedex truck Saturday morning at 3:30am, right down the street, and I had to wait until last night to get them. Could've had them installed over the weekend.._

Just an fyi, my car is on the ground. Literally.

Apparently, you can go low enough to not make it out of a driveway. Gonna have to raise them in the morning to get out to go get an alignment, haha.

Mine settled like a quarter of an inch maybe. I preloaded the control arm bushings real good though, depends on how well you did the install.
