I can not ship one this week, earliest would be next week.

Here is the problem you will face with the truck vents, they will protrude too much inside the car, the levers and hinges will try to give you lacerations, kinda like rallying with stalactites hanging from your roof. With my kits there is very little hanging inside the cabin, maybe 1.5 2 inches and the redisters do not have any sharp edges like the truck vents' hinges and levers.

So how many kits are needed ?

interesting....so your kit is the vent plus the hood scoop, but different vent from the one above. do you have any close up shots? trying to visualize...

and yeah, how much?

I've got one of the roof scoop/vents Mus sells. It's painted red, but with my cage design and shitty roof patch, it doesn't work out on my car so it's not been used. Still have to figure something out for fresh air, though right now that's what the power windows are for. smiling smiley

Grant,

I'm looking for something sooner than later. Would you be willing to sell your kit? Email or PM me and let me know.

I think $100 including shipping would be the price.

I'll try to post more pics today.

I would also want one but my concern is the placement of the cut. Since my car used to have a sunroof but is welded shut I would like to know the dimensions, particularly the opening of the vent, if thats possible...
