looks great. Did you install it yourself? If so, how hard was it?

those fools wanted to charge me 400 for it. i really dont know how much is ok, but when i showed them the receipt of how much it cost, i guess he knew it was too much to charge to install it. they ended up charging me 200, which i still think is really high, but i had no other options or time to look around.

Wow that looks really good. Let us know how it seals when the first rain falls.

no weather stripping, and no liner. as far as noise is concerned......when i was coming down the mountains back from san diego(eastbound on I8) it made noise, but i guess its what it will make anyways. little not much.
