I guess I should have said I "want" the concept but not the seibon. You aren't the first person I've seen that had fitment issues with them.

Wow dude, this looks fantastic. Hopefully I'll get to see your car when I'm back in Dallas.

I might hit you up later on about the guys who did your roof installation. I might need a new roof, and it would be nice if I used a shop that has some experience with it.

Were any of the plastics soft/bendable/deformed after you removed the headlamp from the oven so that when you pulled them apart they didn't fall out of shape?

Yeah I did. They were very simple. There was one washer that needed to be changed on the line going in the engine block. The header gasket I got oem forester ones. So everything's good.

Nope, I was in a lifted Dodge Ram Cummins, lol. Pretty much the antithesis of an 86.

I got them done in California. They're 4x4 carbon v weave with frozen clear. The sides are pearl black metallic with frozen clear. I'm not going to refer them since they take forever so you're not going to be happy with their service.
