Only the Sub Date got the no-hole treatement, and as Padi said, ~2002/03

Nice distinction Larry. You'd make a great law professor.

When did the SEL come into play...98/99 on the 16610? I'd love to trade my D for an SEL/lug holes version.

i believe the a-serials on the sub date have sel... that seems about right. so for the 16610, a-, p-, k-, and some y-serials have the lug hole/sel combo.

while i have a newer exp2, i sure do admire the lug hole/sel combo. the best of both worlds.
