wow, what a transformation. It has come a long way in just a year. What's next? If it were mine: roll pan, smoothie front bumped painted to match, maybe a one inch drop or so, and maybe color matched handles. but clean and well done.

I really like the way the front end turned out as well as the color-matched mirrors. That looks really good.

Thanks a lot guys, I really appreciate all the comments.

@retorq Yeah I definitely need to get that fixed lol.

@bowtiefreak Yup I plan to do all of that, minus the drop. Instead I think I wanna crank my torsion bars a slight bit just to raise the front a little. And for color matching the handles I eventually just wanna shave those. Btw, are you still interested in that 3rd brake light? Let me know.
