Eeeeyikes! We've gotta be able to do better than that. Anyone have any elite
sources for lexan?

Um, which one scratches really easily. Methinks it is the lexan, actually. Why
is that stuff prefferred and what consitutes the extra cost?

I don't have one out of the car but distinctly remember adding a 1" section when
I fabbed mine. I just cut the "arm" in half and then welded in the extra
section. Thus, I have no adjustment. Who cares, it does the job. I might apply a
little bondo, some black followed by clearcoat paint, and then a Neuspeed
sticker -gotta get those show points together! Yah...
