16'6" from front bumper to the back of the trunk which overhangs the rear bumper by a foot. 15'6" bumper to bumper. I ran a tape measure under my car and eyeballed it so measurements are plus or minus an inch.

google airchamber and give us your thoughts please.

even in a climate controlled garage that this investment will be in, i don't have the inclination to continually maintain her. in my texas locale we have large ranges of change in:dust/temps/moisture/humidity and wind conditions. and,it seems folks which know a lot more than i do about such things are utilizing the airchambers.

take a look at your google results and your thoughts...

regards...bob

p.s. how do you attach a pic after you have accessed the image icon?

Bob,

I was going to ask you about the air chamber. Moisture isn't much of a problem in San Diego, it's stays dry. My car does get dusty, but then I get to commune with it while dusting. My garage is detached and not heated or air conditioned. I can see where they would be popular in damp climates.

Anybody else have experience with these?

Scott
