haha took advantage of the nice weather today to finish the trunk and do the gaps on teh endcaps. I used icing to go over everything to hide the 40 grit scratches from blocking, i blocked everything with 150 so it ready for primer. I got the drivers side end cap fitting the way I wanted, and still be removable. Ill work on the passenger side tomorrow. trunk ![http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/82/img2377kb.jpg](http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/82/img2377kb.jpg) ![http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/4404/img2381q.jpg](http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/4404/img2381q.jpg) endcap ![http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/7447/img2383w.jpg](http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/7447/img2383w.jpg) ![http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/5329/img2382sr.jpg](http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/5329/img2382sr.jpg) ![http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/8964/img2379j.jpg](http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/8964/img2379j.jpg) ---
