Looks awesome man, great job!
If it we're me, I would have fixed the chip before putting everything back together though.

Rep Power: 0 Don't get me wrong now, I am not trying to steal away your design bcuz no doubt the red is original, but u mentioned above that u couldn't picture the reflector peice painted so I figured I would post a pic of what I did (painted the reflector peice) just to let you get an idea.

Rep Power: 0 Well u never know, it may be to much red, or may be just right, but the legal issue is more important, although the way I look at it....nothing else on my car is legal.
