Default Mugen HT Install Help!

So i have the 2 side catchers mounted to the car, 2 upper catchers that bolt to the windshield area (were sun visors are) My next question is, do i put everything else on?? In particular, I mean all the rubber gaskets, and everything that bolts to the HT, before I take it to paint? Just curious, cause i wanna drive the car to the paint shop with the HT already on.

Also, anything special I should know about the install?? Before I mess something up! Going well so far!

Thanks in advance

Jakub

I'll have the same problem then! I am living in Canada and I am making ship my mugen hardtop to a friend near the lines in USA so I will save 15% of taxe from Quebec and transportation fee.... I'll go and get it with my S2k and install it over there. Will I have any problem if I install the rubber gasket before the painting?
Thanks
