In fact there is a luggage rack on top. It will hold things just fine. Oh and yeah, the electrical work IS tedious! Orlando: It’s not flimsy at all. In fact there is a luggage rack on top.

I've seen economy cars that were beefier under the headliner. Thats a huge area and not much structure... It's a sheet of metal with a few strips running across it and some goo squirted on to deaden the noise. If it was that flimsy to begin with did you reinforce it to carry the equipment or were you comfortable enough with it not to worry? or maybe is it not as bad as it looks? was the electrical as tedious as it looked like? Regards Whats up with the roof?

Maybe you should only use the new one to go and fetch the groceries!

I'm already considering hail shielding options. Especially for those headlights. $175 a pop! Do they make a grill that isn’t plastic that is factory?

Kudos to the trucking company for helping you out with this. The weather's been in a funny mood lately. I blame the solar minimum. btw, that front grille - not plastic is it? Very smart.
