True that.. Already talked to Kieran@DrivenDynamics and he's gonna retint all my windows and what not when everything is installed.


Update:

Talked with Ray owner of A&R, when I take it to Dave for him to do what he does best on my car he's gonna redo the paint and cf pieces and other stuff I need to have done so that when it leaves Function:Tuned it will be fully complete to the max i.e... Sound system, body kit, suspension, wheels and tires, tuned.

Corey, dude if your down for helping me with the B pillars sometime this week I am up for that. Bring the wifey and I'll have the girll fired up and I'll feed ya. Just take your pick, steak or chicken or both, dont matter to me.

Lemme know man.

A-pillar install is not a 5 minute job, if you plan on transfering the seals...


remove old seals:




Epoxy seals on new CF pieces







Dremel holes to fit perfect







and enjoy.

Thanks man... Not gonna mess with the A Pillar (Looks like we have the same pillars btw), Will do the B Pillar though, with Corey's help or course.

I'm gonna leave the A's to Ray and his guys...I trust em.
Thanks though for reminding me I need to get new seals from Nissan. I haven't ever liked the re-used seals, mostly bad experience on re-used engine gaskets on my other car, so learned some hard lessons in the past that prevent me from going that route again.
