Well, I think it finally settled down and looks great I think. I am really happy with the final look. Got a 1st Place Peoples Choice Trophy at the ACE BBQ last Saturday. That makes me even happier. Might be the last one I get but I have one now. What do ya think of the final photos? Did some playing with the background color as well.

Pretty much unless you build a custom one. The trim is different though so it's not as hard to find your house. But I just look for my Purple Leaf Maple tree in the front yard to find mine. Goes with the car....

No lowering for me.
