I like the fact that there's a notch for the strut tower bar. Overall they came out great. It took much longer than I anticipated but I'm happy with them, especially for the price I paid.

That's just raw sheet metal, but they look pretty close to the color in person actually. I'm gonna at least add a clear to them.

Long freaking day but I'm happy with the results. Here's mine.

I like how he designed the boxes to match the lines of the towers.

There's still some light thuds here and there over raised surface cracks but overall, it's a huge improvement and rides much better now.

Damn. That looks really good guys

Just needs some paint and they'll be complete. Came out real clean otherwise.
