Default Rain Gutter delete, a la Ruf
Has anyone contemplated removing the rain gutter, similar to what Ruf does? I love the smooth look those Ruf cars have with the rain gutter gone. Anyone have an idea of how much that would cost and how involved something like that would be? Thoughts?

Jimmy,

Do a search and you'll find it's not worth the effort, IMHO. The gutter is actually the seam that connects the top portion of the car to the sides. If you just lop it off, the car literally comes apart at the seams. Very labor intensive, too. There was a post of someone who started it and was regretting ever doing so as it was taking forever to complete.

Is your car a real RUF vehicle or just heavily modded Porsche?
