looks good. I almost bought one of those too but decided against it. I really dont like those rims or tail lights tho even tho they are easily replaced

So what did you do to the fenderwells? rattle can?
I know Ford fendewells suck for the most part, in my experiences, they are very hard to clean or keep looking good.
