Not bad. Wish I was on par with this as far as paint/body goes. Planning on replacing the side moldings?

Looks great. Quality work. I wouls swap the gas door to a newer one without the lock on it though. I assume the engine and interior are out of the car? (Based on the 4x4 look)

I will re-install them. No way to find the kind of moldings this one came with

(no fender or rear panel lens)

Great painjob! How much did it cost you to do the whole frame?

And how do you guys make your lenses clear? Sand blasting?

Yeap




Its a shame they are 13 inches
This is how they would look on a lowered car ... in 16 inches (photoshop magic)




And this is how they would look in 16 inches ... with a nice lip





enjoy

Most people buys clear lenses (american ones are orange)

Mine is european. The front lenses are half orange, half white. The orange part is a crappy plastic inside, I just removed it.

The paint job was U$S 1282, and that in my country is a lot of money. I costed me a lot because the guy (who does wonders in sheet metal) installed a sunroof from an MX-3. Looks stock, but its electric and runs on the outside. Waaay better than the stock FB sunroof
