But on the other hand I don't want the decklid to bash me on the head when I'm setting up the IDAs! ;)

But on the other hand I don't want the decklid to bash me on the head when I'm setting up the IDAs! ;) LOL thats Why alot of the early deck lids tear the spring suports off and or break the hinges or spot welds on the deck lids Because the wrong year spring has been used |
