NICE! But you should have cut everything out like I did.



And just stick the emblem in the middle (Notice that it is only mesh+the outerpart, nothing else)

Good choice with the taillights as well. That was my first mod.

Not without the A, but without the plastic brod that supports the A



And I used Duplicolor Primer, Duplicolor Black glossy paint, and clear coat

no, he's saying you should have cut the black plastic that the chrome center horizontal piece used to mount onto.

Red/clear tail lights are a must for the 99-01 guys/gals.

With the grille, do it like slushy. His looks clean.
