It's called "climate control", whatever is happening outside the car e.g. rain it rains in the car!

Nothing quite like a mouthful of acid rain

I will just have one of the old style pop up roof vents concealed under the scoop so if the weather is inclement, or we have a locust plague, or I actually drive fast enough to catch somebody and get stuck in their dust, I can simply shut the vent and the outside stays outside.
Garm, you may have to have some way of removing the internal piece every now and then for cleaning and with regards to weather, I have seen some people shove blocks of sponge foam in there to block them off when needed.

What was the cost of the whole set up?

PHXDEMON · 02-24-2009, 03:46 AM

You will buy anything if it is carbon fiber

Can't wait to see it installed

Also +1 for how much did it cost.
