    I posted a few pics on my roadster thread and it was suggested I create a separate thread for this car. I didn't plan on buying anything because I just bought a stock 31 5 window but when I saw this at GNRS I had to have it. The story is told in the 2008 Hop up. The old photos aren't the best but i think you all will get the idea.

    Had it out all day today and it was flawless. Even in the heat, which was a little surprising that it didn't get hot.
