Before and After (misc. mods)

[SmartMadness]

I thought it would be a neat idea to show the community a step by step customizing project we are doing today.

I will post updates with pictures as the project continues. Our goal is to get this car finished prior to days end.

The car came in today at 10AM relatively stock and by the end of the day it should roll out as a completely customized smart.

Here are the pics from the morning:

10AM - the driver had two damaged fenders, a broken fender liner, side skirt and some other trim pieces from hitting a tire on the freeway.

You may want to point out to the owner that the Stebel horn should be mounted vertically. I've heard stories of them dying if they're installed at an angle - as show above.
Nice looking job, BTW~!

True!! I found that out the hard (and expensive) way on one of my motorcycles.
