    Yo E, can you post more pictures of your window install and where you drilled? Obviously you drilled the oem tags, but can you identify where you needed different fasteners other than the OEM ones and how many? Can you identify any additional areas on the doors you might suggest reinforcing? Do you have any added suggestions for future installers going with windows?

    Got the drivers done yesterday. Man, it's a bit of work to say the least. It's not hard, just so time consuming drilling all the holes for the rubber, door cap and everything else. I honestly used the stock location on everything. The only thing I did differently was to swap a couple of bolts for longer ones and used washers to get the bracket into its proper location. A bit of fiddeling to make it all work but it's not hard, just takes a while. I also pulled the tint from the windows. I think it looks nice without it. Anyway, mine are done and ready to go. Here's a couple of finished pics.

    Wait till you see Andre, they're soo sick!

    Yo E, just wanted to make sure the door and seam alignment was good for the drivers side? If you're happy, then I'm happy!

    I had to do some minor edge sanding but it's not the fault of the doors. Remember how my driver door would rub against the carbon fender when I opened it? I figured it was a good time to sand down the fender edge so it wasn't so close, it's just how they did the fenders, a little long on the door side. Nothing a file couldn't fix in 10 minutes.

    Hey Erron the car looks awesome with all the cf!
    What you curb weight now ?

    I'm hoping to get it down at 3100 by summer.

    I also forgot to mention something about the doors or rather the part that holds the door open. You will need to modify it by grinding it down a bit. If you can move the plunger by hand in a vice you've got it down where it needs to be. The doors are so light they no longer need that amount of hold open/closed.

    I was confused until I remembered you have that 70lb hunk of turbo, ect. Right now I'm at 3050 + cage with tons of weight left to drop.
