Update!

before I begin I must say I have the mod bug..... BAD.
This whole modding started less than two months ago and I already have a room full of s***.
I dont say this to show off, quite opposite. I am begining to become frustated

Seems like everytime I get something done something else pops up that I wish I had done before. I am trying to do everything at once!!!!!




anyway I am just ranting on....

My lip came in



unfortunately I am having fitment issues but hopefully those will get resolved shortly!


EDIT: just got my mb gun owners membership!
