Looking good.

Welcome to the L5 family - it is great to see that the L5 fenders caught on so well and are being appreciated around the community.

I love the look,very agressive
Goint to the paint shop next week. More pics to come

Thanks my painter wants to re-shoot te whole car so we'll see.

I had no problem wit the gas cap it fit perfectly

I'll check that tonight. Thanks
