Finally outta the body shop and installed new grill etc.

Sorry about the crappy cellphone pics but my digital camera's battery is dead ATM. I will get some others taken asap. Opinions are welcome. I don't think there are any gaps from other grill pics I have seen and it does go right to the rubber of the hood so I think its ok. Still need to put some double sided tape on the bottom. Thanks to Jose for a nice product.

Thanks to Bat and G35Pinoy for the overlays and install. It was nice to meet both of you. I think they turned out really good.

Now all I have to do is figure out how to replace my dang fogs and clearance bulbs. I tried to do it myself tonight along with everything else and failed but managed to get all my other ones done (sidemarkers, license plate, door lights)

Still waiting on some other LEDs to come in for dome and trunk lights then I will be done for awhile.

Yeah, I have had it on for a day and didn't notice any movement but I think I will still put a couple small pieces on the left and right to stabilize.

Thank you SIR. Yes, actually got the wheels back on Friday but been too busy to get them back on yet. They look good and Velvet Touch did a pretty nice job on the re-lips. There is a little clear coat overspray on one rim that I noticed when they dropped them off but they will sand that out when I swing by there again soon. I am still missing a damn center cap (lost in the accident) so for now when I get them back on I am going to pull the other 3 caps off for uniformity. $75 bucks is the cheapest I can find for a center cap! Yeesh.

Edit: Well, I was able to complete my clearance strip and fog lamp replacements today. Amazing how much easier it was to do sober.

Seriously though, I just psyched myself out making it harder than it was the first time around. Now that I have done it, I could probably do it in ten minutes per wheel well.

Yeah, actually I think I posted them on Bat's overlay sticky (scroll down toward the bottom of that page):
