Neils, Thank you sir!  Fixed wing.  Not sure I need a "third eye" in Colorado (according to equipment needed for homebuilt cars). That being said, for safety I will probably add it to the rear deck, where I did leave room for one.

You're doing a great job of getting them aligned!  ::thumbup

What are you doing to add the center brake light in the spoiler? Do you plan on having an active spoiler?

Aligning carbon fiber panels sucks.  No room for error!

Since my regulators were used, I think I got a good price.  Here they are in action.  The video shows the window before moving it forward 3" to the stock position. Oh, and before roasting me on my janky hinge mount, it will be replaced with a single 1/4" thk steel bracket. :P

The tracks that I'm referring to are the guides that the glass sits in, as opposed to the regulator tracks. The rear guide is completely in the door, whereas the front guide largely sits above the door.

I posted some pics of the components I am using on page 12 of my build thread (about halfway down). There are also some pics showing how i modified the Grand Prix regulator tracks...

Neils, These look really different from OEM.  You did it for an Aventador?  Which one did you use?

Too late for me. ::scratch However, do you have pictures?

Thanks.

If you need tracks, check out an early 2000's Grand Prix. The glass has the same curvature. I have OEM door glass... fits in the Grand Prix tracks perfectly. I was surprised... as you say, they have a lot of curvature.

Pulled the trigger on a used couple of these OEM regulators ($200 ea).  Was going to be hard pressed to match the extreme curve of the OEM window glass with another solution.  Let me know if anybody needs dimensions.
