I also have a TTE replica lip waiting to be sprayed and put on. I will probably wait till after winter though since I dont want to eff it up with snow and salt.

Will try to do the taillight amber lense removal mod also. Might try to re-position the backup sockets since i boguth the CREE led's for these and they arent what I was looking for since they reflect off a mirror. Would like to reposition these with a direct beam outwards.

Thats pretty much it for mods unless i run into some nice money. If I do then maybe suspension and wheels but probably not.
