Rock guard installer L.A.?
Wondering if anyone can recommend someone to help me with installation of ACS Composites rock guards? Must have a lift and rivet tool.

It's really not hard if you have a drill and buy a cheapo rivet gun. No need to put the car in the air. Did mine in my driveway.

Guess I am the new rock guard installer in L.A.! I did it (the front guards) myself yesterday. I used my right angle drill and a rivet gun. A pretty straightforward process. I am waiting for an angled T-10 torx hand tool to do the rears, as I don't want to take the rear wheels off. These are the ACS Composites unpainted black versions. Goes well with my Vivid Orange paint.

Got the rears installed. I used a small "L" T-10 torx tool. It was semi-tedious due to limited clearance with the rear tires, took about 20 minutes per side.
