Wow, great work. I have to ask, why didn't you pull the antenna off? I have a few ideas for the front of the Sport, but I have to find another front bumper cover....preferably non-TC for my plan.

It's actually just the shaft of the power antenna, the trim piece is off. I have the stock bumper cover off this car, as I used the TC one.

You're going to have it looking good in time for the car show season at this pace. If you're onto the shows that is.

Thanks, we will see don't know if it will be show quality, but it will be way better than it was. After the 5 lug swap and new wheels, I think it will be looking pretty nice. The problem is I'm running out of class days, class ends April 29.

Hopefully you'll at least be able to get it painted, then you probably finish it at home.

Well, that's the plan..lol. I want to get it painted and then if needed reassemble at home, I will at least need to reinstall the lights so I can drive it home at night.

Soooooo close !!!! I can't wait to see it in color !!!

Hey, I have a question....shouldn't you have the header panel off for paint so you can get the whole bumper cover? It only takes a minute to get it off of there.

Either way, I still can't wait.

Thanks Vinnie, the header panel is a combination of time and stuck bolts.:D This is my daily driver, so it will be ok. Congrats on your up coming event!!:bowdown:

Thanks a lot. As far as your Bird being a daily driver, My Sport is too. I'm not complaining, I love driving it. If something breaks, I fix it and keep going. At this point, everything has been swapped, so, it's pretty reliable.
