Are you going to add anything (girlle of some sort?) under the bumber between the exhaust outlets to hide the muffler etc? Er, I originally wanted a sprayed black/dark gunmetal grey grille re-welded onto the car to finish off that bit - could still go for it but I don't mind it as it is.. There are still a few external touches which haven't happened yet too; There is a black grille mesh to go in the front bar, with a black "Midship Runabout" badge to be mounted off to one side inside the front bar "mouth"; I also have had a TRD2000GT gelcoat badge custom made by some American firm to go on the passenger side of the boot lip, in the standard TRD2000GT position. The TRD badge is red letter on black background so it hopefully will look like a stock item, or at least like it is MEANT to be there from factory - even though it isn't identical to the original badge - it looks good enough.. As usual, pics will follow... Gotta say, am really grateful for the feedback!!

Great to see your perseverance paid off in the end! I have to admit it does look pretty ridiculously awesome. I'm loving the wheels most of all. I enjoy when a finish is good enough to use as a mirror and I'm trying to work out what the make is of the white car you can see in the reflection! What is it  ?

This is so amazing. I'm in awe. Any reason you didn't go for late model clear indicators?

White car is a Hyundai that parks next to my house from time to time!
Re: the indicators, I have smoked blacks to match the side repeaters, just need to fit them, which will happen when the caster adjustments happen later this week;
New tyres (35 profile) on the front to remove scrub issues later today...

If you want someone really good with tyres and wheel alignments pm me. Actually is careful with the wheels unlike most tyre shops.

What do you think of the rogue headlights?
Are they worth the money and are they 'that much' better and brighter than standard ones?

So did the gaffer tape leave any bumps when it was painted over? Dudeman - hahahaha, ah mate, seeing that picture again makes me cringe/sigh/laugh all at once, BUT I made it! Long but worthwhile exercise mate...
