    Really nice look, love step side NBS especially in black. You definitely need to paint the rear bumper or at least the pads now to finish off.

    I think getting rid of the flame grille was the biggest improvement. Looking good.

    What process and materials did you use to paint the chrome? I always thought painting over chrome was a bad idea. Looks good, regardless though. Nice job man

    Looks really nice man, I'm glad you took the flame grill off. Those things will make real flames come out from under your hood. lol They look like they block most of the air to the rad.
