[QUOTE="Silver Talon, post: 16005943, member: 192437"] Progress!!!! God it's so rewarding to see something like this come together! We forgot to swap some brackets in the bumper cover. The upper most part of the bumper has a support piece that is riveted in. We got stumped for a few mins why the upper part of the grill area was sitting low. Upon inspecting the old cover, we found the missing piece. Grinding and some punches were called in to remove the peice, and a few fresh rivets held her back in place in the new cover. Found one bolt that was forgotten after the bumper cover was attached, which took some contortionists style moves to get put on and tight. The hood latch bar on the hood appears to be stretched just a whisker too. But a few mins of massaging, and the hood was closing tight, and nice and even. The bottom of the car including the shields and lower valance need to be put on and tightened still. We will get a better look at fitment once everything is bolted up, but everything looks really good. A few hot days in the sun will help stretch the cover and it should settle in a bit more once that happens. And I love the blue stripes and all... but she looks damn good in all white!!!![ATTACH=full]1515487[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1515488[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1515489[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1515490[/ATTACH] Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
