You did a fine job! I like the rain drops, and that sort of lighting is less harsh, reducing contrast. I built the same kit and can attest to the windshield conflict with gauge pod, I even used sheet plastic for the windshield to fix it. I'm not happy with the high stance, but I never would have finished if I tried fixing it. I picked this kit because it didn't come in a box, think the other brands are better all around.
