the window seals are not up to the task however.

That is all.

Default bah, my window seals barely make it to 120

on a side note, the kickpanels are coming a long nicely. I was able to move 80% of the wires and have only lost maybe 20-30% of my dead pedal. These dynaudio speakers are rather large

Default did you leave the metal plate (under the carpet) in? or are you going just carpet?

I shoved most of the wires under the carpet, and then screwed the raised metal plate in over them it holds everything in rather securely and ensures that both the plastic deadpedal cover and the kick panel will fit in properly

Default there's some AWer who's parting out his totaled car

I bought his kick panels for super cheap. you might be able to snag the dead pedal pieces.

Default Help a noob out, what do you mean your window seals don't "make it"

Do you mean you start feeling air coming into the cabin at high speeds? That seems odd...

thanks-

Andrew
