No.. I won't tell!!!

lol.. a combination of things. Air in the master, the prop valve somehow got WAY out of adjustment.

All better now

Here's the done door panel.. very simple and, I think, clean design.

$1200 for the four panels. He used a foam in two sections (see previous post) then shaped it. The edges taper in and since the panel is aluminum the whole deal has a very nice fit to it. The pull-tab is attached to the door frame. Oh, and he rivits the window felts to the panels. I'm very happy with his work.

The back panels have the same OEM look.

Default Much better than what was in there.

Just the right amount of "new" combined with the OE look. Overall theme of your car is dead nuts on!

Can't wait to see it in person at the Wilwood booth.

And they work really well. The car is now safely inside SEMA. After that I have some tires to use up. lol


Here's a cool pic Tom took in Vegas of her driving to the convention center. Tyler (ATS) is riding shotgun.
