Aye bro, You shoulda keep an eye on those sucka's, people out here ask us at our shop to put things on and we let them watch. No big deal, but it also lets them know we doin it and doin it right! thats my defense for small shops, But I like your front end, dont put fog lights. Keep it how it is.

LMAO. Way to keep us in the loop on the minute by minute updates! Once every 29 months, eh?
Regardless, the car is looking good. But what's the status? is the motor still out of the car, I guess?

PS- I think I like your two-tone, but it would look a bit better if the body trim was paint-matched. But still- big improvement.
