Sorry for late update ... I was verhy busy !
The car is back on the road and 98% of the job is done ! Only mist some little thing ( Atlp roof spoiler and a good polish on the paint ! )
[/URL]
I also changed the grill on the hood ! In the picture, the difference is not very evident to see, but in real, wow, no mor scratch and stone chips !
And the car ... Miss the ATLP roof spoiler and I lowered a little bit the back !
And I present you my Daily Drive for the last few months ! I always Drive an Acura / Honda

I dont know if your brother gave you a discount or not but if he didn't, about how much did you pay to paint your front lip? I am in the same boat with mine being discontinued.

Yes he gave me a discount ! I don't really pay for this job because I help him ! I pay the products !
But a complete front byumper is about 400-500$, a front lip .. may be ... 250$ ... ?
