Thank you. I actually found the front bumper on car-part.com. A junkyard in Texas had it. I think it was around $1000 shipped but it was slightly damaged and bare. There were a bunch of parts I had to buy to make it complete (lights, grills, brackets, lip, plastic retaining pieces for behind the grills) it was probably an extra $1500 in parts. Then paint.
The rear bumper I found in mint condition on eBay. But it was Miami blue. So I had to paint as well.

Whaaattt? Noo!! You put all that effort in and then you're going to sell it before enjoying it? I'm amazed at the level of work you've done here - it's not as if any of these things is super easy plug-and-play kinda stuff. Very nicely done indeed. Won't you be sad to see it go, or are you the type that really just likes having ongoing projects? For me, after doing something like this, I'd want to never see another bumper screw again. Or, for that matter, have to deal with paint shops or anything like that
Haha, i think i spoke too soon. I've had a bunch of PM's about the car and parts already. It wont be for a bit.

Stopped at a gas station and figured I Updated this thread.
Not sure how I feel about “bling” 3 piece wheels yet. But I’ll keep them on for the summer until I find something else.
These are from a 997 so the tires are shorter. I have taller tires in the works.

Your car looks amazing! I love it.
If you're not sure about the blingy wheels, you could always have them refinished if you like the style. A classic color combo with guards red would be either gold or bronze centers. You could keep the polished lips as well.
Get the calipers painted red as well.
