I'm going to be re-finishing this, but it'll do for the time being. Looks ok in pics, but if you are closer than 5 ft, you will notice how it sort of resembles doodoo! LOL!

Some Extras that have happened so far along the way...

Blacked out headlight mod.
Fog light/parking light mod.
Tinted side markers and corners (niteshade).
Smoked wind deflectors for all windows, and sun/moon roof.
Tinted windows, front and rear. Don't know percentage or anything, but they're pretty dark.
Red LED dome lighting.

Just found and tightened a loose endlink on the lr strut myself, hopefully that's all it is.

Just stock, because it's an AT, so the motor mounts aren't subject to too much abuse. Also, the stock bushings lasted this long on the control arms and strut, so I figured those would be fine for another 75,000 or so.
I was downtown today and realized I had a pretty cool shot!
