I, for one, will be the lone voice of sanity in this and other forums! "JUST SAY NO TO SKINNING POOR BLIND MOLES!" Isn't it bad enough that those cute little devils are resigned to eating nothing but earthworm ass and grubs? Now we've got a psycho TL owner volunteering to run around catching these little greeblies, removing their skin and then allowing you to paste it to your window!?!?? FOR FREE!!?? He sounds like he's got serious issues...you have any idea how small a mole is? Must take hundreds to protect your precious tint. For Shame! Nevermind the irony inherent in the fact that you're using an animal incabable of dealing with bright sunlight to protect your own eyes from that very glare...

Just say no...if not for the mole's sake, then for the fact that such a substance must surely stink to high hell after a few days...

No, human moles are quite usefull...ever eat mexican food cooked with a mole sauce? Yup, they're quite tasty (and somewhat chocolaty!)

From bergen county, check the meet & greet thread. We have an upcoming meet for NY/NJ members!

I asked because our beloved TSX's are leather trimmed.

Yeah, but leather is made from cows, and cows are delicious! Moles don't taste so good...a bit too gamey.

This guy is no joke with the moleskin. He sent me 8ft. - arrived yesterday and I mailed him a check today - definitely a cool person in my book. He is also sending an extra 2 ft. in a separate shipment b/c he figured that 10 ft. is actually needed (though he is a TL owner). I told him not to sweat it since I have a TSX but he said he had already shipped the extra. His whole motivation for doing this apparently is that he doesn't like to see people ripped off and wants to help out without anything in return (other than shipping cost - $3). I sent him a couple extra bucks anyway to show appreciation and support. cvajs - way to go bro!!!

Wow. Nice guy... I hope he stays in business, it's a good intent, but that's sometimes how you drive yourself out of a business.

So did anyone install the moleskin themselves? I am a little worried about taking the doors apart because of the rattling issue people say that have once they put the door back together? How involved is the install, including the removing of door panels?

Yes I believe that is "Uncle Buck". No I haven't installed it myself yet and do have the same concerns about doing it myself. Have to research the whole process a little more or just let the tint shop do it since they should've in the first place. If you check out the forum from the original post they do discuss installation, but it may be a little different from TL to TSX.
