Default i was ...

but the screw in the front to remove the bumper is stripped so after that and spending all day trying to fix my suspension (long Story) turns out all i needed was some new tires in the front.

so i have came to the conclusion some things i rather pay somebody else to do
cus if they mess up they have to fix it if i miss it up i would have to spend more money.

any suggestions ? and i have read all diy's on the subject.....

well then to me the prices seem reasonable since most import specialized shops charge around $100 an hour for labor
