Thanks for the clear video. Wow. Starting to see a lot of thing Im going to have to fix once it's in the driveway. Im just to picky. First thing is lining everything up. Definitely replacing the markers with ones that go over the panel held with screws. Not the other way around. And a lot of adhesive and weather stripping.

I'm just curious, what's the problem with the marker lights and the weather stripping?

Would you advise waiting until actually in the yard before investing in too much stuff.

I'm sure a lot of the alignment stuff will be cleaned up on the production models. As for the markers, that's a different story. Haha There was a thread somewhere on here about changing the lenses to clear on those as well.

Will be replaced by these. Curious about water intrusion with the panels. Probably replacing lots of stuff my self unless fixed first. Such as.

I am. But Im good with fabricating stuff with cars. From what I have seen so far. I would not trust these guys at wrapping the truck. Imagine the head ache of receiving a wrapped vehicle that you weren't happy with. But we'll see.

I'm sure a lot of these fitment issues will be ironed out by the time they're making these full production. Especially that frunk shot where it looks like they dremel'd out more plastic for clearance.
