Thanks for the DYI, longtran. Installed my blacklines tonight--no sweat, and I'm no mechanic. After reading this thread, I was worried about dropping the nuts into the recesses of the car, but that didn't happen. This was a relatively simple, straightforward install. Contrary to longtran's DYI, I actually found the battery (passenger) side slightly more difficult, being right handed. A good socket set w/ *metric* sockets and different length extensions helped. BTW, I used a glass of wine and a cigar instead of a can of squirt. Also, this mod looks so much better live than in pics. Even my GF, who thinks I'm nuts to change anything on my car, commented on how much better the blacklines look. It's like liposuction for the E90's ass!
