                  Thanks again everyone. You have no idea how it feels to finally have a painted car after waiting this long. It is great.

                  Oh! My father helped me get my front bumper back to normal looking. The bumper bracket mounted to the shock was bent as well as the reinforcement on the actual bumper. Some heat, hammers, body shims, and pipe wrenches got everything back to normal looking...or normal-er than before.

                        Now you need one of these to keep the evil of the world off it.
                        Trust me I can't put mine in the garage ether one of these will save your paint.

                            Thanks guys.

                            O also installed nice and clean bumper rub stripes on the rear bumper while I had it off to install the filler pieces. I pulled some from a junkyard a couple of years ago for the front as well, but it looks like I have a Grand Marquis Bumper so the rub stripes I pulled don't fit in the front. The rear looks nice and new though!

                                Man, you gotta love how much metallic paint pops out in the bright sunlight. Looks like they did a great job on the finish.

                                It's refreshing to see someone here actually seriously working toward the goal of finishing their car up , instead of just continually buying more of them and then never doing anything with them like a lot of the people here.

                                Can't wait to see it with all the shiny stuff hung on there!
