when you did the panels did you have them bend slightly or no? im going to get rid of my licence plate insert thing but not the lights, the kustom auto body shop i went to said that i need to get the panels slightly bent so there is less bondo and so they wont dent easily. if you did the panels flat it might show up more when you paint the car with a gloss paint

ya the imperfections will show when ya slap some shiny paint on it.....

and IMO i would modify the bumper to fit the liscence plate inside.... or something because ya might have a problem with cops being that there is no liscence plate light....

I like it... but you should consider doing some fiberglass work to the rear bumper to make a little recess in it to fit the plate so you can have lights shining on it... if you drive at night, I can see a cop giving you s**t about not having lights. (I guess you could put leds or something aimed at the plate as it is, but it'd look cleaner if you had something like the stock plate location, only on the bumper (and only slightly larger than the plate)
