    FUCK! I was going to be the first to do a 2012 BHLM. Great job my friend, great job. I had a guy with a 2012 asking me to do my work on a set.

    I will say, BLHM on a 2012 is very sexy! ​

    ^ too much money and I'm still working on that KR FAB bumper. I'm more excited for that.

    The guy who I'm doing the 2012 for. I'm going to be doing a sick ass 2012 BHLM. I've got an idea thats against the norm.

    Great job OP on it. I'm going to go harder on it. ​
