Cheap duck turned out GREAT after all!

Pics below. Definitely not the best quality duck, even the body shop guy said so. Still, he did an excellent job prepping, fitting and painting it. Copper brown metallic is hard as heck to match. I went through 7 different shades before he mixed one that was close. Looks a lot lighter than the rest of the car when it's cloudy out. Looks just fine in full sun though.

If you SF Bay Area guys need a reco on a body shop, go to Bay Auto Body in Concord, CA. Ducktail work plus decklid grill paint plus front lip spoiler install = $500!

Your gaps look nice and even from side to side, though a tad large. You're right, the color looks fine in the second picture.

Resize: Open "My Pictures", depending on the program your PC uses, use Image or Tools to resize. Make sure you check the "Preserve aspect ratio" box.

Seems like most of them are a bit narrow and have wider gaps.
