          Looks good trent. For those of us without girly fingernails, it would be easy to open the door with your credit card after you swipe it at the pump.

                It is so subtle yet so sweet, it really cleans everything up IMO. m gonna have to embark a similar journey at some point. Great job!

                          Good luck making one of those. I'm in the process of doing one and it seems to me that every swap out there ends up being different, supposedly you have to remove things that I didn't have to remove, how far up you have to space the motor seems to vary, etc. When I'm all done I'll post up more pics and make a thread about it but it will by no means be an all encompassing thing.

                          As for being on topic, Trent's creativity is what makes this write up truly shine, that and Bianca's delicious curves.

                              I'm blown away. You put an obscene amount of work into a freaking gas door. It looks awesome, but was all that REALLY neccesary? I can't imagine how long you would take to paint the rest of the car.

                              I wish I had patience.
