I think he mentioned in another thread that some modification has been done to the OEM bumper.

He has removed the OEM bumper mesh and is replacing it with an aftermarket grill design.

if you look closer in the pic it looks like the hood was sanded down..in the back part of the pic you can see the black of the hood.

Color match

Well Kris amd Disco Monky seem to have an issue with International auto body... from what i can gather. I will trust that they are good at what they do. Are they up to the quality of House of Color? maybe not... however i am not going to judge until i get the car back. If there is a problem... they will fix it. Simple enough. From the work i have seen so far,e.g the work on the bumper was very good. I saw the engine cover today and it looked good.
If the work is sub standard i will report it as such..
Good day....
