    Looking good
    Hey thanks!

    I did replace all the screws for the access panels in addition to a couple of rivnuts. I have the new warning stickers on the way now in Addition to new trunk carpet from DMCH to really set things off.

    I suppose you could do it without removing the hood but in my opinion it would be much harder and difficult to get the paint in the area of the hood hindges. Taking the hood off is really quite easy. Just have a partner give you a hand so that no damage occurs. I took the LFF side......
    You can't buy happiness, but you can buy a DeLorean and that's sort of the same thing....

    My VIN:    1121

    Pulled the battery out of storage, put it in, started 1121 up, and filled it up with fresh gas. Went for a drive.

    So, short answer, started the driving season.

    Replaced my grinding Legacy LN46 power antenna with a new Metra 44-PW22 unit from Amazon. Required a little tweaking but it operates smoothly and much more quietly than the grinding Legacy unit.

    I need to do the same thing as my LN46 antenna sucks. What tweaking did you need to do to it?

    replaced the warped right side headlight finisher and swapped out my 1 year old amazon strong lift door pistons for a set from PJ Grady.

    the amazon ones would only open the doors about 1/3 to 1/2 the way even in warm weather and always felt stiff.
    Rob's are like night and day compared to those amazon ones. no more head bonking or having to assist the door most of the way.

    Nice! I've had that power antenna for awhile and it works great!!

    Yes!!!!

    I've been getting more and more bored of this cough/cold nonsense I've had for a week or so now. And since it won't seem to respond to "get lots of rest and drink lots of fluids," I instead paid a little visit to Dr. DeLorean... to get a prescription for some Vitamin-DMC!!

    Giddyup! March 9th and the season begins!!

    I had to saw off the plastic nipple for the drain tube on the new antenna. There is still adequate room between the stock antenna bracket and the new antenna for the unit to drain though once you remove that nipple.

    That makes sense. I was going to buy this the other day, but the many negative reviews on Amazon now have me hesitating. It sounds like you've had a good experience so far, however. Seeing as how I'm not aware of better options for a similar price, I'm probably going to go with this unit too. Thanks!
