Yeah, it is a pain in the ass to do. I manage a collision center and it even gave me fits. i would not suggest doing this yourself unless you are really mechanically capable.

Do them yourself, just do like this ^^^ to be safe if you mess up. i followed one of those how-tos and did it pretty well on the projectors.

Reccomend that you use sand paper, primer, painter's tape (the blue stuff) and a lot of patience.

just noticed that it was a lot of P's. hah.
