This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    4" pin on hood, its way light and a bit flimsy so I'll use four pins and two Zues on the windshield side close to the center. All parts are from VFN and they all seem to be right on. I was surprised at how well the deck lid fit. As for the bumper, it doesnt come with any mounting provisions? So I'll be hacking up my Aluminum rear filler to fit, should be similar to swiss cheese by the time my saw gets to it :laugh:

    Some good advise= The Home Depo sells Lexan (big enough to do windshields
    7'x4' ish) for $75.oo a sheet. That is cheaper than speed shops.To Install is a bit tricky.Some may have a better way.I used the old windshield as a template and cut it out with a jig saw.Bought 75pices 1/4 by 20 nuts and bolts (Home Depo)Welded the nuts to the lip of the window frame all the way around.I used strips of a rubber squeegee to make up the thickness of the old glass and butle.I drilled and countersunk the holes for the 1/4x20 tapered screws.It doesn't need to be water tight for me (race car only) but you could use calking to seal it.
