i've had some time to get the grilles, headlights, and parking lights installed.
this thing is full of imperfections but i'm kind of trying to accept them and thinking about ways i might be able to fix some of them.
-hood to bumper gap is way too wide. i think i can move the hood slightly forward.
-passenger side parking lamp fit is terrible. might be able to bend the mounting tabs to improve it. not really sure.
-the passenger side taillight is super bright and the driver's side light very weak. not sure what's going on here.
-glass moulding install is going pretty rough. chipped the paint in upper corner of windshield channel on the first attempt (got some touch-up from straatsma). maybe i can protect it with masking tape? also, the glass is very low for the moulding in a couple corners. argh. take it out and try it again?
-headlights and grilles don't really line up very well together on the driver's side. i'll just have to play around with the brackets and fasteners i think.

i hope to drive it soon and enjoy it a little bit so this onslaught of little fails doesn't weigh me down so much.
thanks for checking in, guys.
i'll try to update again before too long.
