While you are working on the body, I would go ahead and eliminate those side marker lights too. Are you going to lower it any??

No cringing here I have thought about it but will wait until it's painted before I do the rims. If I go with the silver-blue on the roof I was thinkin about paintin the rims that color also. If I leave the roof white or paint it black I'll figure something out. I like the idea of using the blue on top but not sure how it would look. As far as lowering it, the PO had already installed the ECE 2/4 drop. I may or may not go lower. I'll make that decision down the road!
