I reckon your ute looks good with it Mick, but need a shot without the visor.

Two and a half inches (funny how we still only talk in inches when it comes to roof chopping

)
It was chopped twenty years ago and engineered by previous owner, I've had it a few years now and redone the engine,suspension,brakes wheels etc. few marks on the paint but considering how long ago it was chopped/painted it still presents pretty well

Undecided myself

, think I'll fit it up drive it around and think about it for a while.
At least I don't have to drill holes into the ute to mount it
As usual I can't just leave things be

the close up pick i think it looks good but the further back pick showing the whole car i don't particularly like it

looks to be sitting too far up the roof or something
if yor leaving it on as a trial a trick i use is put the car where you can see it when you walk out the door or out a window and then think about how you feel every time you first see it

Yep you are right I looked at it tonight after work and it sits too high, so I played about with it so it sits lower ( I'll take another picture tomorrow)
I sort of do what you suggested about looking at the car after any changes, I take a picture and put it up as the screen saver on my computer at work and at home
