      "Geez... back yard looks like mine!"

      I like that stubby look at the back. You'll need some sort o' light on the license plate. Mayhaps a row of LED's shining down?

        LOL... Prom... you crack me up! You do look at EVERYTHING in a picture. You told me this before... but still pretty dang funny sometimes..

        I personally liked the stock look better, but I know it's still a work in progress. I wouldn't have the guts to start cutting and grinding on mine.... Good luck and keep us posted.
