Just spent $242 on a piece of rubber.
So anyways my Spyder has been leaking water in it for like the past 3 years. It leaks where the top meets the windshield frame. It has finally gotten so bad, that I despise driving it...even worse than usual. And since I dont plan on getting rid of the car, I bit the bullet and called the dealership and ordered the $242 piece. Which is actually a good deal, the regular price is $310 but I ordered it through my store and got a discount. Whenever it comes in and I get time to install it, I will take some pictures. I have never really replaced anything like that before. I'm about to buy a high speed buffer too, so after that Im going to buff the whole car and repaint the sideskirts myself (they're faded), and paint the door handles (dont match because of failed previous paint attempts. After that....ECU swap and up the boost and run some 8's.
Just felt like talking. Later.

Re: Just spent $242 on a piece of rubber.
That sucks but you do what you got to do. Still cheaper than having it constantly leaking and ruining the inside. And at leasy you got a discount.
I honestly thought it was going to be something about tires and a really expensive condom.

Re: Just spent $242 on a piece of rubber.

Re: Just spent $242 on a piece of rubber.
That must be why they back fired, o well I guess that'll happen. I remember back in the day when we didn't have all those fancy birth control methods...like pulling out.
