Am I the only one that gets EXTREMEMLY nervous when somebody else working on my car? I mean...i get to the point where i cant even watch it gets so bad. I was letting a certified guy install my new head unit and just watching him taking the interior apart made me want to vomit and scared the hell out of me, even though i know what he's doin. Is there something wrong with me??

well. i get really scared when people touch my car. so thats why i do all my own work.
so yeah if some one was touching my car id be sacred. ps when i installed headunit at Ccity i would break **** behind there all the time and the customer would b like WTF!!! are u doing. haha then i had to explain how certain cars they have plastic bars you need to cut off. iunno. it was very fun to get a reaction.

why not just do it on your own. a headunit is pretty easy to install.

I really don't get nervous because I know that if a shop messes up then they pay for it. Never had it happen yet, so I guess I'll cross my fingers lol.
