Cosmo: The only real problem fitment wise i came by was that on the passenger side where the HT and windsheild come together and latches the HT sits up a little higher than the drivers side(would never have noticed unless the guy at the body shop hadn't told me) other problem is that on the drivers side when u close the door the window rubs against the HT where the window slants down a bit, but it still closes perfectly..other than that no real noise or wind comes through..
Tune: thanks bro, look forward to hittin up beach st with you this weekend!!!

Looks good.
Where did you get it painted at?
Shop looks a lot like where I had mine painted several months ago.
Plus the black side paint angle looks exactly same

The body shop is owned by a friend of my dad, it's called mr car shine I think located in garland, I'll give all the info pretty soon on the stw reasources just gotta find his card! The guy did a very good job on the paint and install for that part highly recommend him for and paint jobs that anyone might need! He painted my cousins gt500 rear bumper and had an almost perfect match!

I actually dnt mind the black windshield tape all that much right now, but I do plan on takin it off but for now I think it can wait! I ordered the HT from BBenterprise here on the forums thru a group buy..IIRC they just started their last group buy and if anyone is in the market for this style HT I would highly recommend them to everyone
