Seriously that was a bold move stic and clearly it paid off, that is freaking sick nasty. I have always wanted some exotic paint job on mine. You are just living the dream.

Ok Looking for feed back here...

I think of adding the 3 lights to the roof like the original? What do you all think, I'm sorry for the bad pic





Original


What do you all think?

I could also paint the light houseings red to match the roof, but I'm not painting the roof rack

I think your X is a little bit tall for the garage....or that light comes down to far. I'd say do it but they look too small....might just be the angle/garage/the x being lifted.

I say do it. You already have the lights and wiring them up will be easy enough.

I think the lights would look good, and you can never have enough of them! You should get some A-pillar spot lights too from a retired cop car.

You should add some rear tail light guards.

I was just about to say you should get the Big window on top. That would be sweet. The lights look cool though. I agree with everyone, add them. If you're just worried about the height with the lights you could always get the Sawzall out.....
