Well i did the CC plate and A/F gauge install. Upside is the CC plates were cake, downside is the gauges display driver appears to be bad. The gauge is broken
So I have an email in for service on it. Oh well
SVT, the CC plates were really easy. I used the old Steeda ones for the hole guide and you have to make sure you have a fast drill with really good bits as the metel there is really thick. A minor note though. What they say to place the spacers at for the strut may not work for you. It said on lowered cars to put a small spacer on bottom and a small one plus two large ones on top. I needed a small and one large spacer on both sides of the plate.
If I woulda done it like they said then the struts would of hit the hood
First remove the wheel then put a jack under the lower control arm. Then remove the top nut on the sway bar end link. Next remove the big nut on the top of the strut. Dont forget to unbolt the abs sensor wire bracket. Lower the jack till you can get the strut angled out so you can remove the struts factory boot. Pull off the factory CC plates and flip them around to trace the hole and have at it. Only took me two hours to install them with MANY braks and a couple phone calls. Now that I have done it I can do it again in about 30 minutes.
The upper left hole is the one I drilled out. I wasnt quite done in this picture as I had to file down the center so its oval instead of 8 shaped.
New blue boot. I know, the fender wells are filthy. i will get to them.
Here is the half way point, didnt notice the picture was blurry untill too late
Very nice quality and they clear the STB perfectly
