I really hope there arent any screws.. And her grand prix is red, and my MC is white. White strips would probably look terrible on her car. I COULD paint them i guess.. You guys think for sure there would be leaks after I take her rails off?

I mean, I totally would be willing to paint my stock strips red and put them on for her, seeing as all she wants is $80.. But if its unnecessary I'd rather not.

Its maroon. The rails are also maroon. Obviously I'd paint them if I got them.

My biggest issue now is what I should do about the empty channels on her roof. If they need to be filled or not.

If I need to put my stock weatherstripping on, can you even paint those things?

how's the condition of the gp body is it all beat up? if it's her dd and she's not really into modding her car i dont think she gives a rat's ***. most girls just want to get from point A to B. beside it doesn't look that bad after the roof rails are off. it's on the roof top not going to notice that much. i know ebay sell something for the empty roof channel. you got a good deal buddy take advantage of it.

You're getting an awesome deal!! You better get them before she changes her mind lol! :p

I doubt it would leak water without them, I remember on my yellow LS one of the strips were missing and I never had it leaking
Just remove all the old adhesive and clean up the channel
