Honestly, I would do as many DIY's as you can, and if you can record them on video and post them on youtube. My buddy records EVERY change he does on his porsche daily and race car and post a video DIY for people. Even on how stuff works. youtube writes him a check for like $120 a month (varies depending on the content) because people find it valuable. Hes an incredible race car driver and mechanic but he just wants to learn as well as help people learn everything about their car if possible. If i were you, I would DO IT ALL!

yeah dude, Some of them are as simple as changing a head light bulb to as complex as taking apart the transmission.

Have you done the mesh screen cover on the grill to protect the A/C compressor?

Are you referring to protecting the ac compressor from puncturing due to road debris? If so, no i have not done this but will look into.
