Yeah dude its blended in, can't tell at all aye, he did a really good job - very happy with it. Except 3 imperfections but ive talked to him & he's more then happy to fix them up for me (I tihnk they just need to be buffed out).

woah roof looks great now!

nice rim choice, i reckon the silver will look ace. it will make them seem like 18's since they dont blend in.

1 tip on black/polished rims... they make your rims look smaller since the lip stands out. i went for 18's for this reason alone

make sure to post pics when they are on :D

haha nah didn't see I just saw the cut out pieces and where he welded in new plates .. Can't get pics without taking our hole sunroof holder thingo though - and instead of using glue to put it back together he used sikaflex or whatevr it's called - and he coated it all in fish oil apparently prevents rust o_0

Iused 2 foglight cases and just stuck the parker bulbs in when I registered the fto with the old prefacelift TS factory bar. You can pick them up at any local auto shop.


Cost like 40bux I think... And I took them out straight away because they looked *~delightful!~*
