Default Brothers from another mother... Pics inside

Well, I finally got it done. For the last couple of months or so, I have been needing to get a spot on the back bumper of the Balt fixed where it looked like a run-a-way shopping cart in some parking lot left a scuff on my poor baby. Anyway, I thought since it was in getting that done, it would be cool to get the lower rockers done in gray like the Monte. So, here is the result. Thought it turned out not too bad. To me, really changes the Balt's look dramatically..... Glad I tried this...

Anyway, now I have "The Monte" and "Mini Me."

Believe me, I would rather not!!! But it's one of those where the holes are permanent and would need a little body work to fill in the holes where the rivits that hold the frame on go. It SUX!!!!!!! I will very likely get it done at some point.
