I'm liking that a lot. Only thing I would do differently, may be to leave the strut supports and lift handle black. That way It would blend in with the tinted window better.
How hard was it to paint the mirrors?
My trim is in really good shape. Would the paint stick without the bondo?
What kind of projecter lights are those? They look beyond super.
I know you posted it in another thread, but did you get clear turn signal lenses to spray tint or did you get that look using the amber ones?
Overall, looks great.

the mirrors were simple i took em off the car took em apart (the actual mirror part and the part that mounts to the door) cleaned them used an adhesion promoter primed them sanded them then handed them to my painter and had him paint them.
best bet with the trim is to sand it first then prime it then paint it. you do not need bondo but you do need primer.
ill have to find my order e-mail from when i ordered the headlights i got them off of ebay and the turn signal lenses are clear with the backing being black also from ebay.
and thanks a lot i appreciate it but once again i have to give credit where credit is due.
I did all the prep work aka sand the whole truck prime and body work the trim and prime the mirrors but the paint work was done by Chad at Performance Custom Automotive in Clearwater Florida.
