I took these photos yesterday morning. Excuse the no diffuser look, I ran over a deer and it destroyed it. I have another that just came in today. Third time's the charm I suppose.

Looking good dude!!

I wasnt going to ask, but its buggin me. Did you mount your passenger side mirror a little closer to the windshield? The picture looks pretty centered to think that it was the angle you were standing from.


And about the diffuser lol... Ive destroyed over 3 so dont feel bad

Also, are those the stock front fenders, or oversized Shine Auto's?

your wheel color (gun blue?) has been playing tricks on my eyes ever since I saw one of the earlier pics posted. looking to match that color, powdercoating a bunch of my wheels (12), but it changes every other picture I see it. some pictures, the wheels look to have some blue in them, other pictures, it just looks like a regular gun metal grey (similar to mb battles). what's really going on with that color?

the gun blue is a really cool color. its a very silverish metallic gun metal in sunlight. when bright out but cloudy it has a very slight blue hue. but not pearl. kinda odd. if anything is more silverish gun metal

the first two pics are kind of deceiving bc the wb is warm. taking any blue you may see out of it

^^So how do you like the fender mirrors? Are they more form over function? Meaning better or worse than stock?
