Thats sick man. By far best home-made system I have ever seen. You should think about doing this more often!

Well She is in. Not perfect but I'm pretty proud of myself on this one. Being my first time ever doing this.

Needs to be wiped down of fingerprints still.. Will take a night shot later with the lighting.

Looks good man! I like it.

How did you remove that black piece that went over the trunk latch? I've been trying to figure out how to remove it for a while, but don't want to break anything.

they are not on it. It came with those 18". but it also came with the stock rims with winter tires on it. so I sold the 18" with rubber for $500
