I personally like the way the revised panels look over the originals. Not that the originals didn't look super nice

thanks bro ya, at first i wasn't sure but once i cleaned them up i really like them better now. With black leather and blue stitching at all the breaks (like my interior), this thing should look even better. Those new breaks give it some extra flavor for those french seams.

Nothing beats accent stitching!

Nice . Got handed some lemons and made a Mikes Hard Lemonade

i admit, i wasn't sure how i was gonna get out of that mess and how i was gonna explain to eveyrone how i fucked it up in the first place. The pics and video were already up. The pressure to fix it was doubled LOL thanks man

Good catching the issue before final assembly. I like the new side panels better, gives the truck some more syling.

If you are wrapping the panels, I think on the seams a nice "french" stitch would bring the interior cabin upholstery into the trunk, really keeping it classy!

the panels will be wrapped in black leather like the interior..........with blue french seams at all the breaks. The center "plugs" will have black suede to match the inserts of my seats. The plug that covers the actual box will have the F logo embroidered the exact same size as the F logo that is on the box.

Oh yeah that will look amazing!! I am really looking forward to it finished now. Who is doing your stitch work?

the car is probably as heavy as it will be, with the exception of some Second Skin and some wiring....and it rides GREAT. Its still fast as hell, handles like a dream. I drive around with it all just the way the last pic shows. It is tucking a little harder in back, but i got those KW coilovers, i can raise it another 1/8" (or more as needed) in about 5 minutes.

Sean Kat - Kat Kustoms (Gearhead Garage). Same guy i always use. I do basic to advanced wrapping on my own but if it involves a sewing machine, i am done for. Thats why i call the best. I already called him and told him to be ready

yesssir i have the RGB LED's to match the box ready to go. The side panels and amp rack will be back lit (or front) to glow the same color as the box.
