[QUOTE="Jrgunn5150, post: 368057, member: 9682"] It's all nut's and bolt's, period. Hell I built a friggen computer today, and I've never done it before. I never went to computertraining.com, or any other nonsense either. If you are methodical, take your time, use common sense, anyone can do anything. I, apparently, have an over-confidence issue. I don't think I'm better than anyone, but I don't think anyone is better than me either. This crap isn't composing a beautiful symphony, or painting a gorgeous canvas, it's friggen nut's and bolt's. RIghty tighty, lefty loosey, period. It's not an art, it's all skill, and you can learn skills. I rebuild auto transmissions, do it all the time, I tell people they can do it themselves, try to tell them how, they get the 1000 yrd stare and ask how much do I charge... If you don't want to do it yourself, because you don't feel like it, or the cost of the tools to do it once, doesn't beat the price of labor (like a trans), fine. Or if you are just lazy and have money, so be it. But if you are rockin an SN because it's all you could afford, you're gonna have to sack up and get in there. I mean paying 1k to install 800 dollar header's, on a 5k car... I'm also not a math whiz, but I can see that doesn't make sense. I mean it really comes down to this, if you want someone to do it for you, they ain't gonna do it for free. Their time is money and their skill is worth something too. If you think you are going to pay 30 dollar's an hour, you are crazy. You wouldn't pay an electrician that, or a PC repair guy, or a doctor. The thing that really bug's me is when people refuse to listen to someone with real experience, just because some other Ahole who went down to Kinko's and made some damn business cards told them otherwise.
