I know this has probably been covered before but in a search I can't find the info. Is there detailed instructions on how to R&R the front clam?

Yes, my wife hit a dog. I thought I saw a thread once where someone removed the front clam and did pictures. We have insurance but not sure I want just anyone taking my Lotus apart. I thought I may replace the clam then get it painted.

What happened to the $2200.00 front clam price?
Did they go up that much?

Sorry to hear about the damage to the Elise, Hotelcalif. I hope QueenB is OK. I expect to be in your area next month, but I guess your Lotus won't be ready for a Dragon run by then. Let us know how the repairs progress.

For $200 more bucks, get a custom installer to do a much better job.

Did they go up that much? Funny you ask that. He first mentioned $2560.00. When I told him it was for insurance he said he would fax or email me the prices. Maybe I need to check with some other dealers.
