Looks good! Does it light up? I've been looking for something to help with the turbulence when I have the top off my hatchback. I almost bought the brackets that keep it open so the air travels straight through, but I read some complained that it sucked exhaust back into the car. Must have been something wrong with the design, because you don't see them being sold any longer.

Good job!
I didn't pull the seats out when I installed mine. Probably made it easier.

I did not get the LED options. And having the seats out made it very easy. Plus the seat got a good scrubbing in the living room. And the carpet got cleaned and vacuumed in an area that is seldom seem...
