Nice, clean and simple. I like it.

What did you do to trim it out though? Edges look kinda "fuzzy", like the whole perimeter of the body could be gone over with a razorblade

I trimmed with a set of sissors then use a dremel with sanding drums to get close to the lines. I took these pics jsut incase I wrecked the truck first time out! I didn't then I came back and cleaned up all the edges with a razor, just never ended up taking new pics!

Looks good for your first time could take some light sand paper to the edges but even that is not that bad
