Talking Before and After Sorting out the Front

I've done an awful lot to this car since I got it 4 short months ago but this is something I've wanted to do from the beginning. First the air intakes from FVD, front bumper tag hole delete, fix the crack under her right eye, smooth out the scuffs and fresh paint. Today, clear corners from Pelican Parts and headlight gaskets from Parts Geek. Bulbs from Auto Zone up the street. A face lift if you will.
I wanted to wash her before the "After" picture but she was dirty for the "Before"so...What do you think??
As an aside, I finally understand my wife's excitement when the UPS or FedEx person delivers that Neiman Marcus box. I'm the same way for my Parts Geek or Pelican Parts deliveries. I'm 51 and I never used to work on my cars. Now I look for the next thing. I ordered a basket handle third light this morning to get rid of that E.T. light!!

The small bumper repair remove the front bumpers and fog lights reinstall the bumper spray the intakes and bumper and spray the metal piece that meets the windshield on the cabrio top...700 bucks! Brumos collision center in Jacksoville. Great deal.

Looks fantastic! Is your car black or blue?

I was the same way, too, I never worked on my car before getting the pcar. Now I love the satisfaction of solving auto problems and improving the car.

I used paint remover when mine started peeling and underneath it was really nice chrome.
