Wtf a update!!!
Sorry MIGS and everyone that I had Hyped up. The project was really slowed down but was still moving. I just quit updating every little body repair I was doing. It took allot longer then I expected : ( Picking out a color was the hardest decision I had to make. I wanted to stay with the same color but spice it up and make it my own. I spent between 500 to 600 hundred just on pearls to test out! the one i decided on was SEM red 2-tone paste pearl. 
It had a subtle yet strong effect, if that makes sense. We then block sanded and primed the car.
Then memorial day weekend we painted the car. Well that's were the fun ended. the paint came out good. we waited for it to tack and took the masking tape off. When I got to the drivers side a large chunk of paint pulled of with the masking tape. Damn it! Then to make things worst, when we opened the passenger side door
The fender work had pulled the fender out farther then I thought and with the new paint it hit. Then trying to fix things all pissed off and with soft paint made adjustments and closed the hood. Wait we didn't check....WTF
My dads coming down this weekend and we are going to try and repair these sections. But all in all the color came out nice and the paint job was ****. If we are able to correct these issues and blend it in I will have a nice one of a kind paint job.
This gives you a idea of the pearl effect. The camera just does not do it justice. also this has not yet been cut and buffed.

UZZ-TT : I'm glad I went with the shine bumper as well. It shows the camber from the front better. sits a little higher of the ground, but looked real clean during the test fit. would have gone AutoCouture but I know I'm going to kill this bumper in less then a year.
