Though, I'm more concerned with how the driver side fender isn't lined up properly at all, so I'm saving my money on a new fender. I'm hypothesizing that the previous owner had a little scuffle with the fender, and the shop that repaired the truck didn't actually replace the fender, they just bent it back into shape considering the fact I see waves in the metal where the other fender is shaped smoothly, but they did a poor job in lining it up with the hood, and it makes my headlight look bad....which annoys me =\
the alignment on your fender still donent match the bad alignment of mine!!!

yea I figured it would separate the black real nice. I was skeptical at first cuz I couldn't help but think it's too much pinstripe. Good thing the Daks have such good body flow it looks pretty good, heh.
