BTW- today was spent fitting the front bumper on, some grinding, cutting, and filling was done. Now I am going to reinforce all the edges with more fiberglass, especially wherever it bolts on to the car for strength.
Pics dont really show anything for this step

People asked the same about my car because of the gloss black engine bay, but I think it looks better black, all the polished and stainless goodies show up better.
