looks like real good work is being done, glad you're keeping the OEM paint, just comes to show that you're not all about pearly paint jobs and stuff. but please slap some nice wheels on it with dish and make this as clean as possible - that's my only request.

and as a fellow carputer user, speaking to another, are you planning on installing one in? i'm sure it already has factory navi, which is probably decent enough...

Might be the angle, but the trunk tail light on the right side doesn't seem flush (second picture)...

But, nice buy. How much was it total? Lucky you have the time and the shop to make it happen.

its not on an angle, its the camera or the dirt ur probably seeing, in person there isnt a flaw.. and its not impossible for the right light to be off because that whole piece was replaced wit another quarter panel, it wasnt bent out.
