Got a few hours this afternoon to do some metal repair on a fender.Hoping to have them both done by the end of my xmas vacation.
Hey What coating did you choose for inside the wheel wells? I was also wondering what you were thinking for headlight options. I am getting close to having to pick some and not a huge fan of many of the more affordable options so far.
