[QUOTE="05satinGT, post: 15866350, member: 105107"] Thanks for all the kind words everyone! Some pretty good updates so far. So, first and foremost, the front bumper is back on the car and it came out great. I am beyond happy with the work. Here are some install pics. I took my father's 1961 Cadillac 62 series out of the garage to let it run and snapped some pics of the two as well. [ATTACH=full]1477334[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1477335[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1477336[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1477337[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1477338[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1477339[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1477340[/ATTACH] Next, I finally had the PPF installed on the car. Before doing so I had my buddy come to my place and paint correct all of the areas of the car that are receiving PPF to ensure it looks as good as it possibly could. I ended up going with a company that used 3M material instead of XPEL. I must say, they did an outstanding job. I had the entire hood, both front fenders, front bumper, mirrors, on top and under door handles, a strip down the side of the car, and the entire rear bumper done. I was lucky enough to go to my buddy's house who has a Sublime Hellcat to get the work done as he had some more PPF done to the car. Once again, the work came out great and I am extremely happy with everything.

I thought long and hard about running wheel spacers and I just couldn't do it. I don't feel safe. So I went the expensive route....I'm happy and sad about it lol. I ended up ordering one off custom forged wheels. I am going to keep it a secret what I got, but it will be a 20x10.5" front and 20x11" wheel in the back.
