now all i need to get is a sir carbon fiber hood from vis and the front end will be complete
i installed the SIR lights to check for any fitment issues, i only had 1 issue with the right side of the bumper as you can see in the pictures. i have to do a little trimming so the head light fits flush with the bumper
