No i'm not gonna do the wire mod. I know i'm the odd ball out on this one,but I don't like how the wire mod looks. I'm not a huge fan of the wires either...but they'll have to do till a better idea comes along.Thank you though.

I don't like the holes left behind, I don't like the big HUMP either that's left behind lol.It's to much fender well for my liking. I know there's no better option that's why there still there. If I come up with a mod i'll be rich.
