LOL... didnt even think of that....

I guess the time before the fenders decide to arrive here I'll stare at it and if it bugs me when I need to bring it back for fender paint I'll have them do that.

Thanks for that suggestion.

Got the car back!

It feels unreal to get the car back. I'm happy with the outcome. Great work with Kennedy at Platinum VIP!

I love how clean and smooth this kit came out. The panda contrast and wheels really tie the whole build together too. Bravo! Well done.

Fenders came in

Finally picked up the Aimgain fenders. It's not slit/vented so debating if I should cut it. However if not, accenting it black to give it depth is definitely a must.

The badge/emblem/sticker whatever you call it wasn't in the bag so it'll be shipped in 1-2 weeks, no biggie.

Not sure when I'll get it in for fit/paint/install but that's what's in store for my next mod.

Here's a mockup how I envision or THINK it may turn out:

License Plate Mod

I removed my front license plate and put in a glossy half sized blank plate for the time being. I will put a decal logo on it soon.

Initially I attempted to remove the bracket too but it had some ugly raised holes and it's not as simple as plugging it. I know this blank plate is not the same size but at least it covers all the random holes and such. It really helps in pictures because you can't tell anyways.

However, I have a full license plate + logo on order but may take some time so for the time being just wanted to keep it clean.
