Thats quite true Robert. However, OEMs are unwilling to do certain things that we are. For example, my full grill block is serving me great. I did mention I'd probably do the fan blower mod. However, I don't need the fan blowing 6 days a week while the car is just sitting, and come winter I really would rather not have it operate that way. FYI, I do have an alternator switch.
I emailed a local EV club member and he said he could get me a used deep cycle for free. So, I will have a means to store energy to do something that requires a lot of juice every once in a while.
On the other side of things, I tried removing the black silkscreen shade last night. WOW is that stuff on there! I tried the carb cleaner, I tried the razor and it does not want to come off. I also looked at removing it and replacing it with lexan and that doesn't seem to be a possibility either. The guides for the sunroof are glued right to the window, so I don't have a means to remove it ATM. Ideas here would be really helpful.
