Looking forward to seeing the car in person.

looks nice, nothing beats the look of a fresh respray- its when u get your first scratches till u get annoyed,

have u tinited around your front lights, just that pic taken from the front looks like u have tinted around the outside of your lights.

Great effort mate, well done.

Am I right in saying those are unidirectional LED tail light bulbs?
