As for the rear wiper, I've done that before. However it has it's uses in what will be my daily driver so it's staying this time.

As soon as I get the bumper on we'll have the complete look, but I agree, so far it visually lowers the car and adds an interesting angle on the lower sill without making it too bottom heavy.

The bumper is a lot more difficult than I expected. Lots of parts. I will finish that tomorrow. However I did the rear lights.
I m using a product from Design 911 that allows you to replace the lens plastic only. It looks like the lens manufacturer is selling one of the parts that they use to make the whole indicator. It takes a deep breath but I had no problems
I removed everything from the indicator, then put the body in the oven for 20 minutes at 100C (weakens the glue)
I then used a screwdriver to pry the old lens off.
Following that I glued the new lens on with what is basically super glue. Placing is easy, just use the old glue trail as a guide. The glue I used set in about 30 seconds but I still left it clamped for 30 minutes to be sure.
Lastly I used a neutral cure silicon to fully seal the join.
I'll post the pic with them in the car tomorrow as it's dark now.

lol - the whole rear bumper affair is quite probably the most poorly designed part of the car. I hate taking it on/off. Pushing screws through the lipped edge of the fender to secure the bumper make me cringe every time. It's just rust waiting to happen!
