I am considering glassing the bumpers on, as well. One question:
How do the fogs install? From under (kinda tite), or thru the opening?
Looks choice, eh (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

yepp, kinda tricky. lights go in from the front,
but to tighten the screw you have to get under and
between the bumper and the car. not too bad tho ...

It's sitting here at SSI. Forewarn me before you drive up.

Something that a whole bunch of people didnt understand at the breakfast:

The car is not done. You dont perfect the paint/clearcoat before the car is assembled. You do that AFTER it is put together. I heard people knit picking the car to death... relax. I promise the car will be scratched 2-3 times during assembly and scuffed. What you see is the first CUT on the clear. This is just to make sure the base is good.

Andy,

It looks GREAT! Can't wait to see it all back together (or pics of it all back together at least...). Looks like the guy who painted it did a hell of a job.
