its still in primer, but this is pretty much what its going to look like, i have to finish cutting out the front turn signals, and give it one last sanding and then shes ready to paint!:) i removed the front bumper trim, removed the side signals, joined the RD front valance to the bumper as one piece, removed the old style fog light holes and put in the new style brake ducts.

yeah i'm hoping it will look less bulky once i fit it properly take a bit off the sides and paint it the proper color. it looked a lot better on the table, it looks like a big chin right now, i would like to seperate them again and step the valance back a half inch or so to give it some lines and then see how that looks. i like the idea i went with the removal of the trip and side markers, the front is just too clean now so i need to add some lines somewhere.

I think you are on the right track by making it one piece.
If you do separate them and set the spoiler back from the bumper I think it will look much better. Right now it is really flat and boxy. By moving it back you should break that effect up a bit.
Good work though. There is no way I could do that… it would be a disaster.
That’s my 25 cents… for what it’s worth.

I'd say bring it back the same distance as the original front bottom piece :).

i'm going to try somthing else first, see how it looks, and then ill rework it and bring it back about an inch or 2. i just want to try another idea and see how that looks.

yeah, should be done this weekend, i was gone last weekend, and the weekend before somthing happend with the primer as it was hardening and some glitches had to be sanded out, but if all goes to plan it will be done on saturday. so far it looks really straight minus the one part, and i'v got no complaints. pics will be up the day its done.
edit: and FYI i did add a line to follow the trim.
