Had Gio install my BX built headlights this morning with front halo LED’s. He absolutely killed it. He is very organized and his work is very clean. I wouldn’t hesitate seeing him for any installs

You do a fantastic job with the fender triming. I love how straight you are able to get the lines. It's easy to see that you take pride in the work you do on your own truck and other peoples' rides as well. If I lived in SoCal I would hire you to do mine but since I'm not, do you have any pointers? If you don't mind sharing your secrets, what tools do you use to get the lines so straight & clean? Also what fender trim are you using? Thanks and keep up the great work
