This is a after xmas pic, as you can see I installed the vent visors, chrome mirrors, and clear corner and bumper lights. I also installed the intake (page 6) that I got for graduation. I still need to install the fender flares. I also got a pair of stainless KCs to go on the suposed to be stainless brushguard that turn out to be black...another prob for another day.
