Nice clean setup! I've been wanting to do something like that. Can you give us any more details? and I think more pics would be greatly appreciated by the 1st gen. masses.

Keep up the good work!

To get decent effect you really need to cut away some sheet metal behind the h/light cover.

Looks good, I was going to say your moving in on 13 Beefs business, but now it looks more like you guys are in cahoots. 13 Beef what do you charge for the door panels?
