          They look the same as mine, but they can look better, go get a zizz wheel with a cotton buffer, buff off the paint, and just polish it with the cotton + polish on the zizz wheel, it'll take you an hour, and look amazing. The silver paint just isnt as appealing.

              Not bad at all. Take off the coil pack and some other little odds and ends, all of 30 mins max to get them off.

                    Nope, I think... 13mm and a 8mm socket. Im thinking you have to take off the EGR to get the motor lift handles out of the way though, the bolt goes through them both. No special tools, no gaskets, just some unscrewing and unplugging.
