Hey man Welcome to the site, pics look very nice. may as well change mounts while ur at it they're cheap enough, what did u get lemfeorder? don't bother scrimping on cheap mounts so not worth it.

I just shipped some bumper strips to your part of the world. So the person instant them to could add the side marker lights.
