I took me three hours to do the install. I guess the difference between you and me was that you admired your work for a few hours after you got the first side done. I wait till both side were done.

Look great

Once you get started it's very easy to do. Looks nice.
In fact I'm seeing more and more coupes with this mod around my neighborhood.

If, and that's a REAL big IF, I ever decide to take a saw to mine to do that, I'm going to get with Evil-Twin and see how to do 'em like his. Man, those are a work of art.
