Blue Lightning Member Registered: 01/02/01 Posts: 238 Loc: Chelmsford, MA	Hi all, it's been a while, but I've been quite busy. Anyway, I'm about to tub my coupe approx 2" so I can fit 335's in the rear. Has anyone done this procedure? I have read Mell's page quite thouroughly, but I find it lacks from the point of view of a coupe. I need to know if anyone has done tubbing with a coupe and was still able to have the roof mount in the rear. Many thanks! Chris _________________________ Cheers, Chris Lee "Blue Lightning" Brrr!

I may consider doing this in the future. Cutting the 'glass is easy enough, but I don't yet know how to form new fiberglass. I'm sure its easy, also, but I haven't practiced yet. Let us know how it goes! _________________________ Brian - C5Forum Founder and Administrator 2001 M5 * 1997 M3 Evo * 2003 540 wagon * 2002 330Cic * 2008 F800ST (bike) Manager of PFYC.com - a Lifetime Member of NCM!
