As an update from a year ago...

Regarding my windshield... after getting sticker shock from a couple of local plastics companies for a sheet of MR10 Lexan... I turned to James Yale w/ Radical Roadsters in Houston to get a replacement in that material. He was a very nice guy to deal with and I could not have made it for what he charged. Removal and reinstallation was a snap (needed a friend)... and there aren't any visual distortion issues. For all intents and purposes... it looks and performs just like glass. I clean it with nothing more than a clean, damp microfiber towel. As a plus... after not getting any support from Backdraft in Florida... I was kind of happy to not have the Backdraft logo splashed across the top like the old one had.

The only other issue I have at the moment... is a grounding issue similar to what jeffnolan describes. I bought a grounding buss with a cable/wire that will run back to the negative battery post... just haven't had the chance to install it yet and run my grounds to it.

Beyond that... no other issues... and the car has over 4,000 miles now. I'm a little shocked by the stories of steering issues... mine has been rock solid.
