Looks good man. I too like the single scoop in the front . Hopefully you can slot the hinges to drop it down in the back.

Just the black thing that hangs down. Not sure what you call it lol. It will wear down.
Its not my dd and it looks mean in person. We will see how it goes after a month or 2. I may raise 1" but I really love the way it looks now

I think when I drop the rear 1" it will help the front some also.
