They do look better. The sharp corners and edges look lethal though - not a fan of those, round em off please?

Round them off? Naa, man, sharpen them up! Then if someone gives you a car park dent you can cut their car in half

EDIT: forgot to say, I like 'em

I've already rounded off the corners on the outside (did that last night) to make it legal again.

Sam, the arches will be getting a rather unique treatment, as will the front arches. It'll either work brilliantly or I'll end up sanding it back if it fails. Only time will tell.

You're going to body lemonade on them, so they get a random rust patternation, you say???

Got bored. There was a sawzall nearby. I attacked the bug with it.

Note, that strap was just a temporary solution to get me home again. It now has a properly fitted strap on there and looks much better than that strap did.
