      To pull off its not bad,

      2 screws to pull back the fender liners on each side, then two more torx behind each fender liner, then two 10mm bolts that you need to reach into the bumper attaching near the headlights. Finally three torx bolts on top of the grille.

      Hardest part is aligning it with the headlights on reassembly but I didn't find it too bad.

        Damn. I really want my side reflectors color matched as well. Wish I could have thrown mine in with yours. =/

          I'm sure if you brought them to a shop they wouldn't charge much. Or try diy. I did that on my last car and it worked well.

                  Getting my bumpers done next week too. Let me know how the polishing goes. I've been deciding between letting a pro do it or having at it myself. I'm pretty good with preventative but I've never done restoration before.

                    Mine will be done Wednesday.

                    I'm hoping I can do a decent job on mine. If not. Vinyl comes into play . If you end up looking for someone to do it for you, talk to Jed at mobile reflections. He does crazy good work.

                        Had some time yesterday to get some work done. I began pulling apart the management in the trunk to clean it up for driven. I decided that I'm going to mount the manifold/ecu in the side cubby instead of the compressors.




                        Re-did a lot of the wiring and got everything mocked up in the cubby. Going to flip the ecu so it looks a little nicer and then clean up the wires.

                        Im still looking at ways to mount the tank in the ceiling of the trunk, the OEM subwoofer makes it a little tricky for mounting locations as well as keeping things from vibrating. For now it will stay behind the seats.

                        Also finished painting my grille. Looks nice and glossy!

                          Progress for driven! Roberto got the bumper back to me in record time. Huge thanks to him @compact tuning lab. I also had both the front and rear reflectors colour matched.



                          Mounted the grill back up to the bumper and put it back on the car.



                          Also finished cleaning up the air ride for now.




                          Wheels also arrived. They are waiting for tires at urbanX. Will be mounted mid next week.

                              Rear sagging door blades pulled off, pulled apart, re-glued and put back on. Looks much better now.
