It was a lot of work, but the end result is something that looks 100% like it came from the factory.

The rear fenders still need to be tightened up and are missing the lights and fender liners in these pictures, but you can get the idea of what the finished product will look like. Oh yea, for those wondering about the paint on the rear bumper, we are going to Rhino Line (in black) all of the step areas. Otherwise the paint would look like crap in a hurry in those spots.
Looks great Wil!! Just don't Rhino the tops of those new fenders. I saw a Dodge that was done like that, looked like shiite.
