The only problem is the new back window. It zips in and there is a two inch gap of where it isn't closed all the way. How the guy missed that, I don't know. He has the clip that closes the zipper. I didn't think to get it back from him because there would be no reason to.

So, I guess I will have to take some time off work to drive up there to get that fixed. It will only take a minute to do, but the hour drive makes it all very frustrating. Of course, he isn't responding to my emails, but that is status quo with him.

But, yes, the frustration of dealing with him and the wait is worth it for the car to look exactly the way I wanted and to know that it was set up safely (I have spacers added). He has a great reputation and part of what he does is build race cars, so you know he knows safety.

Thanks for asking.

Oh man don't get me started on the vert. I've got a couple of issues going there. The top needs to be replaced ($1500-2000) and the rear passenger window, that little quarter, has a broken cable. In other cars it does not matter, but the little shit that engineered this thing has made it so the entire regulator needs to be replaced ($600-$800). The motor for the top is weak and needs to be replaced (another $1500). Perhaps the most annoying and least expensive is the hydraulic arm that hold the trunk cover up. The slightest breeze and down it comes. It has caught me in the head about 3 times now and Andi once in the shoulder. They have the arms over at Auto Zone for about $20 each. I don't have a good excuse, I just haven't had time. I work 2 full time jobs now you know? I'm tired when I get home.
