Tunnel Brace/ Backbone Installed.
« on: March 03, 2009, 05:21:19 PM »
Well, I got my new backbone compliments of DDM Works...Started by jacking up the car, crawling under to see what it was going to take. (see attached photo) All the bolts to remove the old brace are easily located and removed. I did have loosen the bolts attaching the downpipe from the exhaust, (just loosen, not removed) to give the exhaust some moveability. Then it was easy to slide the old brace out and put the new one it.

All in all, took me about an 30 minutes from start to finish.

I believe that must have become an option after I ordered mine, had I been able to...I would have ordered the pink on. LOL.  :thumbs:
