it looks great, have you thought of adding some polished bolts to the cover? gets rid of the fake looking ones.

Nice job ! I did the same color as you. If you want to add something, replace the bolts with some stainless steel ones from Pep Boys

Looks great, I like the factory brace too. I had considered it but sounded like to much work to modify it to fit my 2010.
