Default My CETA mod

Just did the CETA mod last week and just cleaned it up and wanted to see what you all thought. I know the pictures are a bit blurry, and i dont know why.

I was having a hard time deciding whether or not to have a shop do it, They quoted me 150 and then i decided what the hell i will just do it. I used duplicolor primer, then high gloss, then clear coat. I am by no means a good painter at all, I just made sure it was all taped off well and the areas I didnt want paint on covered very well. It took me a few hours, but it was very easy. thanks for the replys guys
