Good to meet you, @Chen, you gotta get up here for some more events in the future! Thanks for all the Drop Top, man! I'll keep some cold in the fridge for you next time you stop by.

Good meeting you, too, @JonnyRocket!

Haha, No worries. Well have to kill the case the next time we decide to do something. Also, I suppose I'll have to come down more. For a bunch of forum junkies. You guys are pretty cool.

@DarrenDriven how confident do you feel on installing a spoiler, window visor, rebadge and antenna? I would do it. But I suck at lining things up and it would suck for everything to be uneven.

DarrenDriven · 11-12-2012, 06:08 PM

Rebadging I have done so that is no problem. I would think that the antenna wouldn't be too hard, either. The window visor and spoiler are a little trickier, but we could do it. We should have a third person so two can hold the parts while the 3rd eyeballs it from a distance.

Do you already have the spoiler and visor?

m.box.design · 11-12-2012, 06:32 PM

I got a buddy to help me with my spoiler installation. Kind of just push and prayed for the most part. Got it lined up pretty well. But I agree with Darren, a third person would be even better. It's harder to line things up after the 3m tape is applied since you can't freely nudge it around. I followed up with taking a hairdryer to the gaps in the tape to seal things up since this cold weather was making the tape uncooperative.

I have gotten the badges and the spoiler and visor are on their way. I'm waiting for the group by for the antenna to come in.

Edit- should we make a day event/BBQ out of it?

DarrenDriven · 11-12-2012, 08:06 PM

Yeah, that would be fun. Who's bringing the BBQ?

Chen · 11-12-2012, 08:22 PM

Lol, what?! I thought you had one!

DarrenDriven · 11-12-2012, 08:41 PM

Nope, I sold mine a couple years ago. We might have to order pizza, haha.

Chen · 11-12-2012, 08:58 PM

Pizza it is. We Just gotta wait for everything to come in, than we can pick a date to do it. I'll keep the thread updated.

DarrenDriven · 11-12-2012, 09:30 PM

Deal. If anyone else wants to come over... this is a good opportunity to detail your interior inside my shop. I've got the shop vac and the air blow gun to make things easy.
