Message	I received what I thought was the last test piece and test fitted it today. The adjustments we made are going to need changed once more, We had the rear most holes dimpled to make it fit and look better and it kinda backfired on us, due to the stiffness of the material it distorted the panel. There are also a few minor adjustments yet to make. Althou this piece fit fairly good and looks great installed I want to send a high quality, good fitting piece, I will not send these out until I am happy with the end product. Those of you whom have already got in on the Pre-Order have been sent E-mails. If you have not got in yet and would like to I am going to extend it for a awhile longer until the first production run is ready to be run. Here are some pics of the latest piece, This is what it will look like minus the dimpled holes in the back part. I would suck monkey balls to get my Z black... (n/m) - scottyfender 02/22/08 23:14:01
