Default Caster, not that I completely agree w/ you, but the practical...

engineer in me tell me that if a condition of condensation does occur, and this may be on a very humid day and me running the cooler box valve wide-open. I would merely either discontinue use or turn-down the valve. If condensation becomes a "big" problem and it really shouldn't happen, just merely open the door and air it out !

This is a $35 mod that could easily escalate to something that is really of no use to me.

Just a fun mod and take it for what its worth. Problems of condesation? Just do the above.

There becomes a point of "diminishing returns".

Default Yep. Pretty cool for the price. The pedals actually grip quite good. Gotta get...

used to the brushed aluminum look down below, where it was pitch black before. I would recommend this mod. However, that middle bolt nut on the brake pedal is a Biatch to get in. Two out of the three actually hold it very secure.

Default Agreed again. But mold occurs only when standing moisture is present...

for an extended period of time. This should never occur unless you completely neglect the issue.
