Sounds like Drip Rails are a pain in the a$$ to replace. Brent and a few others tried to convince me to go without them and I'll admit that looking at Snowblind by EBMC at SEMA made the idea tempting. (That car is just wicked on every level) But it's not for me and we kept them.
I do have photos with the new roof and drip rails, but must not have up loaded them to Smug Mug. I'll get back to those.
