Haha I saw that but I decided to make a thread in the GH section and start throwing all of my DIYs in here.

+1. It looks beautiful!

Nice job.

One thing I might actually recommend is also masking the spots where the lugs seat. Paint on there can chip and allow the lugs to loosen.

Good to note for the future. I'll be sure to check my lugs. Thanks!
