    The powder coat looks good.

    They came pretty much in shape in the box. They fit pretty well. But def need to "break in"

    My mom got a full set for her rav4, and after a week or so they formed to the floor very well.

    With the FL heat coming on now, I'm sure they will form in well soon. Happy with them so far though.

    Look at build!
    Love the bumper!!
    If you look at my last post my blinker solution came out pretty good. Use a 6" amber led strip in conjunction with the corner light blinker mod.. Turned out pretty good

    Ha good catch. It's actually "Bad Kitten Water" which is also known as just water. I needed it for all the sanding and polishing :p

    I used this kit. It worked very well as you can tell. I could have probably gotten it to look even better but the sanding was exhausting.

    Installed an LCE lightweight crank pulley. Did it cause all the reviews from the 4cyl guys were great. Didn't really do much for my 3.4 tho. I mean it does seem to rev a little quicker so I guess there's that amd it makes a wierd noise now when inget on the throttle, but idk. Had to try it. Headers are next, I'll post up when I get those installed.

    It wasn't really a solution. It was more like, "Damn, what do I do now". LOL.

    Good thinking! I like that.

    Yeah, I liked it so much I also had him powdercoat the metal legs of my dinner table.

    I love your build! I wish I had a DC like yours.

    Thanks, lol. It was either this until I decide how I want to do it or have no turn signals at all and risk the chance of getting into an accident b/c the other driver couldn't tell which way I was turning. I choose option A and be temporary ghetto:D.
