Looks like it was getting dark pretty quick, were you able to get the sidemarkers wired too? I'll be doing the same in a little over a week. Tick tick tick.. Cant want to get back with a sheet metal nibbler in my hand. =)

How about some bigger- up close shots of the grill.

Nice work so far. I'll be back to see what else you mod.

nibbler will take you much longer, just get a dremel and various cutting disks, and just make sure you tape around the cutting area about 3x more times, just as a precaution, as for wiring i really didnt have time, i had only about 4 hours to work with and just got done as the sun just set,will wire them today just to let everyone know ahead of time you are going to need all new inner fender clips because most of mine broke while trying to take them off

i dunno i kinda liked the old headlights. i think all they were missing was paint around the circle and along the divider between the reflector and the turn signal. and maybe a bit beside where the reflector goes.

What? Spring begins? There is still snow on the ground! Spring in Texas doesn't begin until it hits 100 degrees.

BTW The headlights look 100X better! The grill is not my taste with the carbon fiber but the style is clean with no emblems on it. The side marker is a nice touch and flows well with the headlights! So new brakes? What brand?
