So I think the passenger side fender is going to need to be replaced. which is fine, they are not that cheap, and matching the paint will be simple. But the fender flare near the bottom is loose, so I looked at it, and where the bolts for the flares screw into has rusted away.
Looks like I might be hitting up u-pull this weekend to find one in good shape.

Tails are installed, Man they look good, the parking lights are as bright as the brake lights were with the old LED's. I will be getting photos and video in a bit.

Installed custom Fender Flaps....



Found a roll of 1/8in rubber cove base on CL for $20 and made some custom flares. I jokingly refer to them as Fender Flaps cuz I tied them into the the existing mud flaps. I know they're no comparison to ZR-2 fender flares or Bushwhackers but for the money.....

Tried them out tonight as we had a butt load of rain and they worked as intended, kept the mud and rocks off the body.

Good thing you don't live in MA - those would never fly here. You wouldn't get a sticker, #1, and if you drove at night, the cops would have a field day.

Nice job BTW. Look good.

Thanks

i would throw the stock ones in to get the inspection sticker if we had that crap here LOL

as for the cops, there would be no reason for them to have a field day. Most new cars come with LED tails.
