Not a big fan of the front bumper and the mirrors but the rest is nice.
Did you smooth the tailgate yourself?
Is the rear bumper one you have done yourself or is it a part of a bodykit?
Just done my rear end so interested. :evil:

Looks very plain with sides filled in, I prefer them on as it helps break the sides up.
