Thanks so much for these measurements, they worked out great. I'm not sure if you saw my how-metro-kammback-window or not but I think you'll like it. I followed your advice of avoiding the endless hours of sanding that fiberglass entails and made it quick and dirty with some aluminum and coreplast. It's been a great aero benefit for me.
I did a quick overlay of the teardrop to see how it lines up and it looks like your measurements helped me get it pretty much spot on.

Thanks again, the blackly has been my inspiration since the beginning (though now I've added a few unique mods of my own). Now i need to begin to do some of the more mechanical modifications (5th gear swap, xfi cam, etc) if I want to continue to improve
