This truck is amazing! I just looked through the entire build and the only negative I thought about was that you should have done 20's up front. Looks perfect now. Seriously, beautiful truck!

NICE! Looking forward to you detailing the install and your feedback on how it goes!

Have you been able to put many miles on it since you "finished" it?

a courser grit such as 60-80 is needed to cut the acrylic lenses down to the metal. After that, just block with the body as you normally would.

Nothing to write home about. Its got around 1300 troublefree miles on the odometer. Still a fresh build if I decide to flip it
