    ARE tonneau cover, Redline hood struts, Leaf TSB, and Trans TSB, Satoshi grille.
    I agree that because it takes some effort to put in, that it is gratifying when you are done because you did it yourself.

    I restored 1 69 Mach 1 and 1 70 Mach 1. Everybody admires the work. Makes you feel like you accomplished something.

    Camper top with racks, Custom fogs behind lower bumper. Interior LED lighting, Rock Lights, Hella 500s with upraged bulbs behind black billet grill, AAL, Front 5100s
    I went Billet with lights behind it. Must say I am very happy with it, its a unique look and super durable.

    When it comes to the Jatoshi where you are doing a very small recess by popping the tabs that wasn't an option that made sense for me because I wanted to mount the lights in the plastic behind the grill that you are removing in that mod. Having to make a bracket was way too much effort for me to do the whole thing from start to finish in one shot.

    Don't really have any good pics, but you can look in my build.
