    First and last time using an installer

    Them tie wraps look gnarly dude! Just kidding. Of course the problem is that even if you are ok with it, the plastic used in those tie wraps do not have a UV protectant. In time, possibly less than a single year the plastic would have degraded and then broken loose. Don't know about you...
