Well the job is finished and I must say it looks pretty freaking sweet now that I don't have to look at that damn gash anymore. The only problem I found was with the 2 screws that hold the middle part of the bumper on the car. You have to have a small ratchet, small hands and patience to get it off. I have a few battle scars from that piece because on the passenger side the tow hook is in the way but the driver side is a cinch, plus there's some plastic engine molding you need to pry out to get the ratchet in.

Other than that there were no real problems. Actually the most discouraging part was getting the OEM grille back on the car but I didn't want to rush it and everything turned out alright. I can give you a few more pointers or things to look for and techniques I used to get certain things off, but I'll shoot you a PM since it'll take some space.

Here's the pics...enjoy them, but I'll enjoy the car more since I get to look at it everyday. I'll take better pictures tomorrow once the car is washed and it's out in the daylight instead of the nighttime garage.
