I love your projects and threads you make about them! Keep up the excellent work
 
You do some amazing work my friend. Keep it up and keep sharing with us dumb people that can't build it lol.
 
Don't know how I missed this thread. Man that's a lot of time and effort. Very nice work!
 
This is awesome man! You might have the first 2nd gen with a 4th gen bumper that I actually like!

What do you do for a living? It seems like you definitely know what you're doing when it comes to this grill/headlight stuff.
 
That is some nice craftsmanship!!

Wild guess... Got some 150 hours in setup?
 
On to the lens using tape and cardboard to build a box around the HL
