Okays... some updates for everyone interested.
Skirts have been installed and ready for the wash/prime/paint. The install for the skirts are semi-perm meaning they can be removed easier for repairs if needed.

Since we were doing body work, I decided to take care of the scars that were on the box when I first purchased it. Also redoing the fenders to get rid of the horrid bodywork some half-arsed shade tree mechanic tried to cover up.

Lip. Installed. Yay!

So far the fitment of this kit has not needed any work to sooth warpage like some kits I've read about (diablo kit is notorious for excessive warpage). The parts fit right up to the existing mount points with little hassles to get the mounts working right. I'll keep you guys posted on the progress. Prime should be cured tomorrow and the finished paint should be done by Friday night sometime.

I'm definitely going to hang on to the front lip. Need to have that for the extra bumper cover it's going to go on for the off seasons. There's no way I'd run this lip in the winter... and this is my daily driver.
Update: Primed and new fender in place. Paint goes on tonight.

Paint is on. It's going in full cure and pickup is Monday. This was a bad picture as I couldn't get inside the paint booth so I had to shoot it through the glass.

Alrighty now... things are finally complete and painted. Here's a couple of pics from the complete after I picked up the box. I'll have more pics up later.
