My FMIC & DP arrived last week. Great build quality on the DP BTW!! Here's a pic of the core, and a pic of my new Euro lights just for fun. The body shop working on my car should have the FMIC done by the end of the week (we're waiting on my new hood to arrive)<p><IMG SRC="http://www.v70r.com/forums/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=3882" BORDER="0"><br>I really want to give it a hint of black, but I'm debating that.
