Yes more work done today

The BIG BOSS AUTO Body Kit on the car has grown on me and I decieded to keep it even though I have stock items sitting here aswell.

But, the side skirts fold under the car making Jacking the car up and putting it up on the hoist a slow carefull process, and with all the modding/fiddling/upgrades been done and more going to be done, I decieded that stock skirts will be the better option for me, although I liked the BIG BOSS AUTO skirts.

So this afternoon off came the skirts and next week the Stock skirts will go one once paint work/body work has been done.

The way these where put on was Crazy, Bolts/Fiberglass, my guy almost killed himself getting them off :lol: , someone never wanted these to come off.


Here some Pics!









These are for Sale now:
