Got some more done today...not too much though. My lines around the edges still need some work but I'm just trying to get the inside shape done first. Sanding in the corners is proving harder than I thought it would.

Nice to see Photobucket fixed their site.
Anyway....today was very busy.
This is the first time I bolted it to the car. You can see it needed some gap work to say the least.
And here she is all gapped where I want it.
And here it is primed up. I've already wet sanded and reprimed it but there's no point taking another grey pic. I'll have it silver and clear coated tomorrow barring anything ridiculous.

Thanks very much guys.
I'm thinking about using the 3rd brake light area as the reverse light. I just have to replace the red lense with a clear one then wire it to the reverse light wires.
As far as a 3rd brake goes, it really needs to be in the back window IMO so I'm going to find one that works back there instead.

Thanks for the info and the offer.
Turns out you're not too far from me. Don't let the MS plates fool you, my wife is stationed in San Antonio but I get to keep my state of residency keeping a single plate vs. running a front one.
