I finally got some better pictures of my sides installed. Still not the best, as these were taken with my camera phone. Enjoy for now.

well if it's any consolation, I am self taught on my painting/bodywork techniques

I simply watched and observed others and then developed my own technique that I am comfortable with...best way to learn is to go and do it

I have a 35 gal compressed air tank for impact tools and I think you can get some decent spray tools. I have a friend who owns a body shop in London England and when he came over he gave me a few pointers on flicking the gun and what not. I take his word for it bc i know his place is the real deal (ie he has huge contacts with manufactures, and drives a ferarri )

well, I'm not gonna keep them. I tried fitting them today and my exhaust does not fit around it....Agency Power is way to big.....I had to modify my stock shrouds as it is. So I'm done with them...not worth my time and I have no way of trying to fit them with my huge cans....lol.

You want them?
