Looking forward to getting it installed and taking it for a test run.
We'll start the Winnipeg 4th Gen F-body Convertible with Windstops and Zaino Club
How badly did you get dinged by the customs brokers.?
Came by USPS and Canada Post so as of now only had to pay their $5.00 handling fee (and 14% tax of course). Not sure if there will be any charges from customs. Unlike my Colgan bra shipped UPS, on which I had to pay the standard UPS charge of $25.00. I'd like to order the engine plaque from SLP, but since they ship UPS as well, the added $25 charge seems a little steep. Will probably wait until I decide to order something else as well.
Tried to install last night and wouldn't you know it, the screws are torx (even though the instructions call for a phillips and a standard screwdriver ). . Have to go buy either a torx screwdriver or different screws today.

Or stop by and collect some more of our trees. I think mine are Philips, and I have Torx screwdrivers. We could swap.
If you do I'll let you help with spark plug #8

You may want to try my Oris Windstop Safety Mod. For 1/2 hour of your time and the cost of two small locks, it deters theft and prevents loosing it on the highway.
Let us know how you like your Windstop once you have it installed.

Sniff....Sniff... No fair.... you left me out! How about the "CFbCWZC" Canadian F-body Convertibles (with) Windstop (and) Zaino Club.
Hehe...

One little problem .... my tonneau doesn't quite fit properly with the Windstop on. The mounting brackets on the rear seat backs force the tonneau backward slightly which causes the trunk rubber to close on top of the tonneau lip instead of behind it. Should be able to correct this with a little dremel work on the front lip of the tonneau where it comes in contact with the Windstop bracket. Anyone else find this (or is this just a problem with my Hawk)?

I dremeled mine to get a little smoother fit.
