Here you go Mike, real easy, only hitch is the reverse lights are also held on w/ sticky foam, just need to be firm w/ pulling it up, and try not to tear it up so you can reuse it. Now as far as separating the housing, that's not going to be as much fun from what I can tell. Might be a good idea to take some pics of that part and share w/ us for a future DIY (hint hint).

I wouldn't have the guts to open up my headlights or tailights myself especially on my G as I have never done anything like that so I wouldn't wanna mess up experimenting for the first time.
Edit: unfortunately I cant find any info in that DIY regarding what tools I will need haha.

Socket wrench and... I think an 8 or 10 deep well should be all you need. Maybe a screw driver to pop some things but that's it. It's really easy Mike.
Sounds like I don't need to pick up that other set of inners now?

well, Chris my offering is still up, if You wanna give that a try I am willing to do this for You as a favor for nothing in return. It definitely is worth a shot. Can't wait for tomorrow after work till I get those tails installed, here's a reason why

Hey, quick question for any of the lowered G's. So I measured and remeasured my coilovers before I installed them to try to be even, but it seems like the passenger front and rear sits about 1/8" lower than the driver side. It's a small amount, but it's noticeable to me.
Wasn't sure if this was normal for the sedans due to how the weight is distributed, or if it's odd? I supposed I can go adjust the driver side a hair, it's just mildly annoying lol

I figured it is pretty easy Chris, just wanted to find out what tools I'll need.

Thx man. As a lifelong owner of MT cars bought new, previous including:
'96 Integra 5MT 140k
01 Outback 5MT 90k
03 Altima 3.5SE 5MT 150k -- traded for G37
05 Jetta TDI 5MT 190k - still own
That's over half a million miles, and not once have I had a trans or clutch issue on any of these vehicles. I don't even want to talk about A/T and the issues I've had... LOL.
That reliability is a strong influence on my buying MT cars. I'm a little jaded ATM that what I thought was a proven and rugged drive-train is maybe not so rugged (trans).
Nonetheless, the dealer treated me well, gave me a loaner for a week, and took care of every minor issue (brake squeal too).
Hopefully my bad gearbox was just a fluke and this one will be more typical of MTs in general.

When they fixed my clutch problem (pedal sticking to the floor) last year it was covered.

I performed my own "Induction" service this morning. Car feels like it idles a bit smoother and doesn't hang when you rev the motor. That's all I could notice.
I'm thinking about having my dealership change out my transmission fluid and gear oil to see how that affects the lazy transmission. My neighbor and my tech recommended I do that before pursuing the "slipping" transmission approach with the dealership. Something is just not right...
Oh and i upgraded the motor on my new lawn mower. Let me tell you how efficiently it mulches now with all that power
- Cleaned MAF sensors
- Cleaned throttle bodies thoroughly (again)
- Cleaned inners of intake manifold
