It's been a long 2 weeks: helped my brother move and hung around Joplin for tornado cleanup. Luckily my family and friends are all OK.

Yes, got the roof caps "adjusted" with a dremel for proper fitment, drilled holes, spray painted the caps, and put 'em on. They actually needed quite a bit of modification to fit properly. Still, a few hours with my brother's dremel is much cheaper than the $400 auto body shop estimate.



Been meaning to replace that broken wheel cover.


Those bolts stick out like a sore thumb. I'll either paint them black, or look for something less obnoxious.


My spray painting abilities suck, but still $7 vs $400. I could get another rattle-can and go at it again sometime.
