I've been following your build for awhile and looks like it's going to turn out nice. I also have an SSM in Miami so hopefully I'll see this in person soon

Excited to see this headlight set up! And I've been wondering, how did your Fab man get that piece so nicely polished? Some Cuban trick? :p

i couldnt wait to see what the URAS GT front bumper would look like with the FEED Fenders so i pushed on the front bumper...and first impressions are INSANITY!!

The lines on the side of the front bumper look like they flow well with the lines on the fenders

ye man

that was the one thing that was really concerning me, i didn't know if the height of the bottom of the bumper would match up well with the FEED side steps, but it looks like i got away with it!!

Went to check on Roxy at the body shop today

They're working on stretching the rear now to make space for the wide body

They are also going to make it so that if I pull the rear fenders off I'll still have a nicely flared rear fender

The driver had already had the metal welds smoothed and now has the body bondo to smooth out the rough ends

The passenger side had just gotten welded up and still needs to get smoothed out before the bondo

Here are some more pics:
