Nice, the back sits nicely but the front is a tad too low for me but to each their own!

cool man, how did you manage to get it to stick on to the trim? obviously panel wiped it all down then did you sand it gently to give it a good key then spray? when you say full mtech body kit do you mena tech 1 or 2? looks like you got a good base there man
