Congratulations C W Pottenger; That's one fine posterior you have. I was also going to ask what the diff is out of thinking Vette & I see Mr Regal answered that question faster than I can type. I too have missed your build posts, so post a path for us computer challenged guys. We want to see more, Ole' Bob.

I actually have not made a build thread. This project has taken years and under gone a couple of starts, restarts and design changes along the way.
It start off as just make a nice comfortable daily driver. Turned into a full frame off custom fabricated weekend street/strip toy.

Like to see the front spoiler install too.

It is actually the original Lauren Engineering front air dam before they changed design to non-functional ducts.
It just bolts to the bumper and you just have to drill a couple holes in the front fender to attach the functional air director scoops.
I did make one minor change that made a HUGE difference. I made a 3/8 round bar stock that perfectly fit and outlined the lower lip on the back underside. I then glass it in so that you can not see it. Before I did that the air dam flexed quite a bit and it actually cracked at the edges of the center section. The bigger issue was integrating the GNX flares and the side skirts. Those pieces had to be cut, modified and re-glassed to make it flow together.
