Quite a transformation! Love the Frenched headlight look. And that Frenched antenna is sooo cool--smartest solution I've seen for an AD.
Qs: Are the Americans 14s or 15s? Any reason why you didn't go taller? Is that the final stance and ride height? Did you do the tailgate art? Why super traps apart from they look cool? (Like, is there a performance advantage?) And what's the body color?

I can't wait to see your interior shots, bro'.
PS - Are those new chrome window trims (outside view)? If so, where did you get them? I'm looking for a pair.
