Default APR Snub

I know someone posts this every other day, but I finally got my APR installed yesterday while I had some time off! Honestly, everyone raves about these things, but maybe I was expecting more or something b/c I thought it would be much better. I can definitely tell a difference, just not as much as I thought.

That thing was the biggest PITA to get on though. I heated in the microwave for a minute, applied lube and had my girlfriend pulling on the radiator and it took FOREVER (and she wasn't too happy with me). I ended up getting a cutting board from the kitchen and putting it in between the mount housing and the mount with the snub sandwiched in between then I pushed (gently but firmly) on the radiator and she popped right in. Definitely didn't expect it to be that bad.

It's not that hard to put on, the directions that APR gives you online are crap, but it took me 2.5 hours w/ lunch and beer.
There is not much that can give you a hard time, w/ the exception of that front bumper.
