    Some guys already have issues with the UCA hitting the coilover on droop, if you solid mount the lowers and start moving the uppers all around you will most likely have issues hitting the coil. There is not a lot of room to play with on stock length arms

    ...too much shit to list.
    Did not know that.
    Guess that's why I hang out in the LT BS thread and not the MT BS thread. :pout:

    seriously kicking myself in the ass here - i have posted on six threads and have received no help.

    I am installing my Glassworks Fenders and I am having trouble getting the piece that sits against the windshield column to sit correctly. also having trouble getting the piece that bolts inside the hood to lie flat.

    any help or advice?

    Photos? Most glass takes some loving to fit right but not always in the same places. It would help to see what is out of line

    im at my desk right now so no photos.

    the gap between the hood and the fenders is a good size though. how close is it supposed to be?

    also, the headlight just sits a little crooked - possibly needs shaving to sit correctly?

    should all women get boob jobs?

    remember bigger boobs = bigger bras. You'll want to re-gear or get a supercharger

    The lines wont be as good as factory most likely. But yes you will need to shave in some areas. Just be carfeul not to shave too much, it wont go back
