Rob, Very nice to see you in a race prepped ride and I agree if it's not broke don't fix it, all the best with your new toy. T

Won't rain get into the cage holes in the rear slider if left outside?

Looks like you better run to Home Depot for s tube of silicone.

Thanks again everyone if this weather ever clears I can really get to enjoy it. They'r talking 30's this weekend, WOO HOO thats going to be like frigging summer after the last couple of weeks

I hear you Brian, who would have thought ole loud mouth excitable Ronbo would be bestest friends with calm cool and collective Vin Man ???
Hell I even have a room at his house, we're like family
OR SOMETHING
(Insert Vinnie and Teri saying WTF is he talking about here) hehehehehe
Now Mike thats a diff story if I was to count how many times he threatened to kill me in the last week or so believe me I'm out of fingers

Of course I'm kidding, BOTH AWESOME PEOPLE (HUGE Thumbs Up)

It's now officially Insured so the driving will start tomorrow right after Red is picked up WOO HOO Mike and JDM truly did an absolute awesome job on this Beast. little details are big details. Things like N20, Heater, and Purge Buttons are installed better than factory and truly look like they belong there. The Seat/Harness Mod, and Console/Seat Mod are flawless, the Line Locks right where it belongs. The n20 system is maybe the best I've ever seen and even little things like the purge line were done with workmanship that turn it into a work of art, and once I do my engine detailing it's going to look even better.....

Thanks All

Looks can be deceiving. It is VERY hard and I mean VERY hard to get water in there.
The top of the bar is flush with the window and the hole has edging on it so water just runs off it.

You would have to basically take a sprayer and jam it in there. Rain will not get in there and most guys hand wash there cars anyway. It is not as big of an issue as everybody makes it out to be.
