Put the aftermarket bumper test sample as well as the aluminum reinforcement on today. Also installed the lower valance I picked up from Gbodyparts.

Thanks for the compliments. Today I had a successful test fit of both the rear bumper and aluminum support soon to come out as well as the new aftermarket trunk lid. Check it.

Might just be me, but I don't think a "brand new" header panel should require that much straightening...
The rest of your progress looks good.

I agree. Ever see a glass cowl hood never need work? Or how about fiberglass regal bumper fillers?
