Default New Look Front end

Well after starting to fix my front license plate filler plate; I decided that I was going to glue it in using structural adheasive and the two screws to hold it in place so I can smooth my front bumper out. This Wednesday I will have the whole front bumper repainted.
I have some used black headlights with the clear reflectors coming next week. Along with the Tony Stewart grille to replace my SLP upper grille. I also am getting the SLP lower grille to complete the new look.
With the new headlights arriving soon and my semester of school is ending very quickly I can proceed to unveiling the creation of my projector headlights. I have been teasing about this project for the past year or so. But I have done my testing and I am ready to bite the bullet and start on the final set of projectors:p I am hoping to have the final project and unveiling of the completed project next month sometime. In the coming weeks I will leak info on what projectors and other things of that sort that I have on hand and that will be going into these lights.

Heres a pic of the bumper ready for final sanding and prep for the sealer and base/clear coats.

Thanks guy I appreciate it. I've wanted to do this bumper mod for a while I think it will clean it up looks wise.
Trewyn15 I am going to be selling the SLP or if I don't like the look of the TS grille I will be selling it.
