Brakes are stock. Haven't done brake cooling yet, but new fender has intakes - need to route hose (thanks). Have a Halon fire extinguisher.

Peter
The front brakes currently have cooling ducts attached to the control arms. These of course can be rerouted to take advantage of the openings in the front bumper.

Still to do:


Body:
Fix leaky rear window
The rear window gasket needs to be adjusted or the whole window needs to come out and get reinstalled. The outer flap of the gasket needs to sit on the body, sealing off the window channel. Currently it's not. Also the lower trim needs to be reinserted into the gasket.

The outer flap being buried in the channel is probably what's causing your water leak.

I wonder what chance I have... the guy that did it on Saturday was "an expert!"

Yes he is. He also wanted to be done by 4pm and it was after 4 when the rear glass went in for the second time. Also the guy that was going to do a majority of the glass install didn't show up.

Just because he's an expert doesn't make it an easy job for him!

You'll be fine. Drive your SC over to Peter's and make the rear gasket look the same as your SC's. No problemo!

Exactly. Just make Peter's gasket and trim look just like yours.
