No problem Aaron, just let me know and we can meet on a weekend, I completely understand the feeling man, you feel something is missing from the car. So are you still going this weekend to the car meet at Manassas?

agreed.....if possible, try switching your parking spot....couple years back some fuckers spotted my car/where i lived and I had to start parking 5 minutes away just to switch up the parking spot and throw them off....

and car cover tells them there is something important in there....its like when you see a safe, you think, damn there might be tons of money/important stuff in there....

be careful out there bud....

yeah i moved the car closer to my line of vision. but at least with the car cover it's locked underneath you know? they'll have to spend time cutting the lock strap, etc.

damned if you do damned if you don't type of thing.

I love the ATLP and Sarona...the ones that are like straight back instead of flared up.

Well there you have it, if it only took you 5 minutes to put it on your window, no wonder it was easy to take off!

actually someone on here had their rear windshield cracked/destroyed because someone wanted to steal the spoiler.. prob because the adhesive was so strong...

however, do you beleive it is fate telling you that the TL should go on a diet? the cosmos could be telling you something...

either way still sucks dude, its my fear of parking in the city now since TLs are starting to become more popular and affordable.. I am trying everything I can do to make it more ugly but it is so hard!

Buddy, I hope the roof spoiler broke when they were stealing it. That way, it will be no good to the thieves.

Glad you re-ordered though.

I got word that the roof spoiler ended up giving the thieves about the worst case of gonorrhea the Northern Hemisphere has seen in the last 3 decades. I almost feel sad for them because the thieves didn't have healthcare and have had to resort to dipping their "uglies" in jars of expired mayonnaise to help quell the burning...

but alas, to no avail.
