Post by: Jack Rabbit on April 12, 2011, 09:02:41 pm: I'm torn, I like it alot as it's smooth and visually widens the rear, yet don't like it as I think the badge and it's clever mechanism gives it an identity

Good work though, uncommon mod well executed :happy2:

Post by: JPC on April 12, 2011, 09:26:33 pm: Props for doing that! I love to see work like that.

I love the idea and how you did it but I think it needs something to break up the boot.

On the whole... Great ;)
