I never liked the stock tails (pre 2017), glad to see you are changing them out!

I do have to come up with an alternative for my reverse lights because mine are currently integrated in my OEM tails... I have an idea already of what I'll do...

Planning to custom make 14R style bumper reverse light?

Integrated like the pic you provided but located in the custom diffuser I'll fabricate.

I need to spray it with high build primer then see what adjustments I need to make... getting close though.

I have some areas to smooth out and a few pin holes to fill but the fender and garnish are looking great! Just a little bit more to go.

I haven't had a lot of time to dedicate to making the progress I would like... that said, I should have some progress pics posted soon.

I still have been working on the front passenger fender. I needed to smooth out the sweep on the garnish and finish off a few other areas. I just re-primered the garnish area today... Very minor details to make right...it's looking really good though.

Once I get the fender on... I'll make some small adjustments to the skirt to nail down the skirt/fender seam. Then I want to put the front 3P wheel on to get a better idea of how my fitment will look... I should be posting a pic the fitment soon.

Thank you for keeping up with my build!

I had time and good weather this weekend so I made some progress... working on skirt now... I'll make more adjustments and square up everything once the whole left side is on.

Here are some closeups of my custom garnish. I still need to throw down a guide coat and make things as perfect as possible. The fender is sprayed with SEM high build primer... a really great product btw.

I've been wanting to do this for a while... since I don't really put decals on my car body (except for the windshields and engine bay). I had a almost 5yr collection of decals. I still have a few more but I need to create some contrast since the decals are white.... I'll figure something out later.

The Punisher and Superman badges are temporary... I'll use that space down the line for more decals. My Work Wheels logo is not where I wanted it to be... I got distracted while placing it... damn it is bothering me... lol

One day I'll install this decal collection in my garage... for now it will stay attached (w/magnets) to my work tool box.

Oh...down the line I'll make a graphic that highlights my build...I'll have it printed out, then I'll place it in the bottom right corner of the panel.

I got my skirt squared up with my front passenger fender today. Next up is temp installing my rear overfender so I can verify it is also square with my skirt. I should have some pics with my Work Meister L1 3-piece wheels temp installed as well. Fender closeout fabrication will be next followed by the fabrication of my custom aero.

Fantastic alignment of the sections and attention to detail. Looks perfect.

Thank you... I'm pumped how that section turned out!
