I painted and installed a mesh wire grill last night that I fabricated, and added the angry eye look. I like the way it turned out.

Next on my list is to cut the fenders. Would had done it already but... Wish I had an air reciprocating saw as I think it would make it easiest. All I have is a bigger sawzaw, jigsaw and a Dremel. Has anyone used a Dremel with a cutting wheel or a jigsaw to cut their fenders? If so, how easy / difficult was it to use it to do that job?

Finished up my RK Stock Mod + LCAs last night. Took some after pics this morning:

A bit more time consuming than I had hoped, but reasonably simple outside of a few "wtf?" moments.
Next project(s) include cutting my fenders, removing the front plastic bumper cover, cutting the metal bumper underneath into a stubby and using the end pieces to weld into the sides of the remaining bumper to close it off, then applying bedliner.
