New 102"
I got this maybe a week ago. As far as reception, fantastic. It honestly could not be any better. And yes i know, it doesnt need a spring, but i dont like how it looks tied down without the spring on. Oh and the tie down is a little ghetto, but i guess whatever works, and i put the third top hook on because with just two it would bounce, get slack and unhook itself. so the top one keeps tension.

You need to peel off that retarded looking tint and about a dozen stickers from the windows.
