Well, I sent her to the mechanic for the 3sgte today. I miss her already, but I have to say, I am excited. These are going to be a long few weeks.

As for DG's "fender struts", they are side tower braces and almost identical to the J-speed ones I ordered. Unfortunately, DG announced production of them after my order. As for the rear bracing, from the rear wheels back, the coupes and convertibles have much more ridgity compared to the hatch backs. Also, all the convertible structural modifications are behind the lock pillars. I have the diagrams from ASC regarding the structuaral modifications that were done to the car when it was chopped. The only thing that we have to worry about in my opinion is front cowl flex under torque. We will see.
