The lighting is making some shadowing appear like the bumper is really sticking out from the grille but its not

And all the lights work. Very easy to make work with our wiring. That only took 30 min or so to do.

dude looks great!
did you modify the bumper at all? I love it, just nitpicking out of curiosity...where you welded new metal between the grill and the lights something looks a bit off..probably because i'm just so used to seeing the old lights
EDIT: ahh I know what it is, in that shot there seems like a crease right under the grill, I feel like if that was smoothed out it's flow a lot better
other than that, unreal amounts of win man

^I think it looks better that way. Makes a smoother transition from bumper to hood/grille.
The lights looks sick while on. How's the visibility of the turn signal? If I was driving in front of you, I don't think I would be able to see your turn signals from my rear view mirror.
Kinda off topic, but how did the paint job turn out?

I'm still kind of shocked from the before/after. Even with the pics of the work, it's incredible that you did that yourself. That's redefining DIY right there.
I always had a sneaking suspicion that you would slightly mess up somewhere (like not perfectly mirror from L to R), but it really did turn out perfect.

The indicator (signal) is on the inside of the headlamp.

Paint im not happy with and i will redo it. I was rushing it and i had some primer spots (i used as last min touchups) and they make a few spots blotchy-darker. Its a quick fix. Not a single run, really smooth. Ill redo it in a few weeks or so when i have a whole weekend.

I'm a thrill seeker in my
Looks strangely awesome, certainly fresh . I'm sure you're quite busy with life but whenever you get the chance to repaint it to your liking and clean everything up, I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that we'd like to see a nice photoshoot of your ride. Also if you want to show off the lights without the glare, increase the shutter speed to let less light in. That's if you have a camera with manual controls. The whole shot will be darker but you'll be able to pick out the detail of the lights. I did that for some shots of my headlights and fogs when I installed the led bulbs in my fogs.
