    I had a black hood/ironman and built the headlights to match. I originally was going to wrap the VX in matte black but found it scratched too easily. Once I wrapped the VX in blue, I decided the OEM reflectors would look better.

    Definitely use the CD changer bezel if you're not using it becuase the fit is almost perfect.

    I removed my Yakima bars because it mounted the basket too high and I wanted clear my garage door. I made my own mounts similar too Zeus' write-up in the how-to section.

    Do you mind measuring exactly how much above the rear spoiler it is total? Thanks :-)

    Not a problem. The spoiler curves up higher in the middle and measures 4.5" to the basket vs. at the spoiler edge it measures 5".

    Parking in my garage was a requirement when I installed the basket

    Thanks Dubby. I'm thinking about wiring the zombie light button to illuminate all of the off road lights... just for kicks... or zombies.
