    Ha ha, I expected that answer. When you're all done though, some folks may appreciate a condensed post with links to all the materials you used.

    That would not end up condensed. Lol

    Trimmed and test fit all the windows before painting and they were just about perfect. I didnt take into account for the paint so had to refit every tinted window. :frusty:

    I wonder if there is some micro rubber o-ring or channel you can use to simulate the window/body mounding. Would also hide the raw window edges

    I've actually looked and thought of black silicone but thought it might look worse. The windows have a lower channel they sit in so I'm just tacking them on. If I ever find something they can be easily removed.

    I completely agree but it's what comes pre wired on the lights.:hattip:
    The micro chips for the custom mirror puddle and ditch lights aren't much bigger than the size of a human hair. :D

    Working on the tiny things today. Installed door handles, storage covers, antenna and tailgate hinge. Also working on my bedside decals. Ones I ordered came black only so have to do white mountain snow caps by hand. Think I'll try making a stencil so I can just spray it. :notsure:
