Can you resize your "AFTER" images? They're huge

Thanks Mr. P -- I asked because it was a bit difficult for me to see the images in their entirety, and I'm sure some of our users are going to be scrolling like I had to ;)

You defenatley took more time getting rid of the tupperware than I did, I did mine in the yard ;) but it's really the way to go.
I like your headlights too, did you paint them? or buy a set?

for some reason i didnt get updates on this thread so sorry about that, i purchased them off ebay from sabersports, great headlights, but unfortunately a week after putting them on i heard a rock hit the nose, and it nailed one of the corner lenses now it has a small cosmetic crack....i can live with it. Yea painting the plastic is the only way to go, i see alot of spot trac's with it painted and im 90% sure its stock, possibly the limiteds? how did you smoothe it out, the shop that did mine used a special plastic bondo stuff but you can still see texture on some spots....but i cant complain for the amount of work that was done to the vehicle.

i need to become elite so i can post more pictures lol
