Gotcha. I cut the plastic one to fit it under the carbon one. Mine is base base model crank windows no tilt no cruise...I'd have figured those shields were on everything. Haha you'd be better off with a carbon one anyway. I found 3 in my local junkyard, 4dr and 2 trucks.

Guess I forgot to post this video...forum seems kinda dead lately. But I made the doors removable with some 3/8 hitch pins and it's pretty awesome. I can swap the doors for my Jeep mirrors in about 2 minutes. It works pretty slick.

I also tried it out with no rear hatch, and it's pretty cool...but the hatch is basically impossible to reinstall on your own, and even with two people it kinda sucks. So I guess that will be really rare. haha. But I've already pulled the doors off like 5 times.
