Did you use OEM parts or parts from eBay? If eBay what seller? Where did you get the templates from? after cutting what else is needed? How do the grills stay in place?
In the pick "sick.bmp" what is that piece inside the opening? Where do you get this piece and how is it attached?
Thanks

WOW - nice work!
How did you know, in advance, that the area behind where you were cutting, that nothing was back there that would have caused a problem - like wiring for the side marker, or double walled panels? What tool did you use to make the cut? Would removing the fender have made the job easier?
