    MySilverTaco13, have you tired a dry fit yet? I found out after I did all the bondo and fiberglass that the head lights protrude into the opening and I had to rework my sides. This may not be an issue depending on how deep you went with the inside wall. Anyway, try a dry fit if you have not done so already, just to be on the safe side.

    what did you use to fill in the holes from where you cut the stock grille? Also where did you find the grille its self?

    and on a side note. do you have a close up picture of your Black headlight mod? What did you do around the parking light / turn signals. feel free to PM me if you dont want to junk up your sweet satoshi write up
