  1. Windshield seal

    I am getting ready to install my windshield but before I jump into it, I have a question. I have noticed from looking at pictures, that many of the Coupe windshields have a large black 2" approx boarder running around the edge. This is not the rubber seal that finishes it off but appears to be under the glass and for asthetics. When I pulled mine out of the box, I noticed it did not have the boarder at all.

  4. What to buy?

  5. Oops

    Well, the order process was simple, and in many ways I am still getting over the disappointment of placing the order and not having balloons falling down around me and fireworks going off outside. It was happening in my head, but Dave Smith assures me they felt like balloons were coming down around them when I place the order.
