time for pics.
this is what my girl looks like
first i pulled the bumper and all lights out
now the cutting. there is no turning back at this point
here is the hard part. there is no place on the inside of the bumper were the grill can hold on to so i had to trim the edge of the grill so it can be as flushed as possible. in the center you can see how much i trimed. this was no easy task.
i also had to trim the edges on the bumper were the cut was made. the whole edge was also trimed to flush the grill. and on both edges, i cut the whole edge out untill the grill had a tight fit.
and here is what it looks like.
tomorrow i will work on the inner brackets to bolt the grill on from the inside. i also got onother stupid idea while i was working on the grill. what i did was deleted the sidemarkers.

so the bumper is done. i did not install the brackets for the grill because i did not wanted them to be painted. ill get pics of the grill and brackets. ialso painted my headlight and highbeam houseing. but i did do something with my fogs that i havent seen some one do. well let the pics do the talking and let me know what you guys think.
they look so fresh and so clean with a fresh clear coat in and out. the caps. for the fogs came out of a early ls and i removed the shield so the whole cap could be exposed.
btw the housing for the fogs is also black. and here is the bumper
