Yeah I mean, I can't say they're to blame. Do I think they should've put them back after they were painted separately? For sure.

But I also think my dumb rear should've checked before leaving. I know the shop was super slammed during the months that I dropped off the wheels, and just the fact that they were able to repair and powdercoat my wheels was good enough for me.

Car looks great dropped down on those bags! Curious to know how you have your DRL's wired... Did you just wire them into a +12V ignition circuit so they are on all the time instead of directly to the control box in the battery compartment?

Wow! Another great shot, Ricky! I really have to get myself a real camera and then of course I'll need to get some photography skills as well.


Yeah, Bridge to Nowhere is near Mt. Baldy in ANF. I believe the trailhead is off the 39 just North of Azusa. My wife and I have been trying to get up there to hike that trail all year and still haven't made it. LOL

They are wired to the control box just the way they should be. But I didn't plug one of the connectors into the control box and instead just taped it up and left it disconnected. Now the DRLs are on anytime the handbrake is down.

Hmmm. Very interesting. Sounds like I might have some more wiring to do this weekend. Any idea which wire you leave disconnected?

If you don't mind waiting a few days (or weeks), I could pull the box out and take some pics!

^ The fitment is almost spot on. There was a little bit of a gap at the top corners, but since the lip is polyurethane I just let it sit in the sun for a while and it got more pliable and the gap went away. It arrived bare, so I had to sand it with 600 grit first then I primed and painted. I may go back and color sand it because there's a little bit of orange peel in the finish

^^^From that angle it doesn't seem to have the gloss of the OEM paint. I used automotive touch up to color match my fog light bezels and it turned out okay since they didn't connect to factory painted panels but they didn't match well enough.

IMO, it's worth buying the OEM lip for the perfect fitment and perfect color match.
