Looking good! Love that you propped those up with a pack of smokes. Do you have any idea how many times I have wedged a pack of "Reds" under something to keep it level? Love it! Hurry up and finish this so we can see em.....

Looks good. I did a shop of this way back on someone else's car to see how it would look, but can't wait to see yours installed.
