wow, what a transformation. It has come a long way in just a year. What's next? If it were mine: roll pan, smoothie front bumped painted to match, maybe a one inch drop or so, and maybe color matched handles. but clean and well done.

I really like the way the front end turned out as well as the color-matched mirrors. That looks really good.

Thanks a lot guys, I really appreciate all the comments.

@retorq Yeah I definitely need to get that fixed lol.

@bowtiefreak Yup I plan to do all of that, minus the drop. Instead I think I wanna crank my torsion bars a slight bit just to raise the front a little. And for color matching the handles I eventually just wanna shave those. Btw, are you still interested in that 3rd brake light? Let me know.

Looks like you have done quite a bit of work to it over time. Looks good to me. I really like the color matched front over the chrome. (i was thinking maybe paint the front bumper also, but dont know on white, have to see pic) The accents inside are a nice touch also.
