IMHO the price is reasonable given the economy, time of year, your location, etc.

Nobody's mentioned stereo mods yet...as long as it didn't include obviously inappropriate door speakers or a space-robbing subwoofer, I'd have to say that almost any stereo mod would have to be a...

And even if I did know a body shop person, it means that...

I am not a painter

I think the results (from the pictures, though none of them are closeups) are respectable, and the price point seems reasonable.

However, for a product that is supposed to be a convenience, I lost...

I rarely operate my top - it's...

Absolutely love it! My car has 55K miles, M30 suspension, and we have rather mediocre roads here - it has made a huge difference in the apparent rigidity and has significantly reduced the small creak...

+1 on the above comments. I'm also not personally motivated to do body mods, but I agree that this one appears to be enhancing rather than detracting. The interior is at least interesting. <smile>
