You could move the AC control to top (there is a bezel) and delete the center section altogether, a la GT3.

Hey Jaxonalden....Assuming that your car is first gen, I have two of the roll hoop screens. I don't want to break the pair, but will let you have both for $100. That's less than the cost of one from...

I installed them myself, but I'm not sure I would recommend that. I got them from Suncoast...good quality, very reasonable.

I just installed the turbo look spoiler from Elite Spoilers. They painted it and it is a perfect match.

Thanks Norm...As to the other brand that is linked in this thread, it says it comes with lexan windows and weighs 25lbs. The zeintop is definitely heavier and has real safety glass. I think that one...

Fully reversible and easy to install...

I use a bit of masking tape at the mounting points to keep from scratching the roll hoops. A flat screwdriver wrapped in duct tape is a good tool for roll bar padding removal. 10 minutes on and off.

metal shavings the size of a dime. Looks as though someone with a wood plane has been inside the engine?!? This was stuck to the handy magnetic drain plug that I got from LN. Any guesses as to the...

No, it died while the clutch was depressed. I actually coasted the car for a second. Considered pulling to the side, but I didn't want to stop the whole event just cause the car died. So I popped the...

I suppose if you are not doing any long sweeping right handers, then you can get by with just the deep sump. I was looking for some peace of mind that I am not going to sling another rod! You can...

No, the deep sump oil pan was not required for the accusump. The shorty filter does not hang below the standard pan. You do lose a little oil in changing just the filter, but I think less than 1/2...
