Very nicely done Andrew! PM me when you finally decide to get the hood blackout. I can tell you haven't used your roof lights at night, or else you'd already have one!

How could I possibly install those and not test them?? Hahah. Freakin Daylight! I was going to try plastidip first and see how it looks. I'll probably mess it up so.. I got your number! And thanks!

Yeah I plastidipped first as well, in the end I switched to vinyl. The plastidip worked well though.

You Chawton White guys and your build threads! I really like your storage area. That is high on my things to do list and yours looks VERY solid!

Looks great, nice work. Which light bar (brand) did you go with? I'm liking that look
