trimming the 17 dash to fit the dentside as you can see quite a difference between the two. Happy Friday crush it for the weekend.

I bet it gets pretty annoying taking that dash in and out for fitment. Incredible job so far.

dash rigged in now to slowly start the process of 100% fitment for that super clean look.
