ya i got mine from him a few weeks ago. i didnt go into prepping it too much, just sanded with 400 grit and then painted it satin black and used about 15 nuts and bolts and drilled a bunch of holes in the bumper to secure it...it was easy on a lift too...

Tuned the intake over the weekend and got trims down to 5.88 under WOT. Spool time has decreased, but now I want to check for leaks since I'm seeing spikes in the trims for brief instances.

Got my ebay v-limited polyurethane lip in today. Fitment was like a C- with me putting it on on the ground. several bolts didn't line up and luckily I have a drill to make the pre-existing holes larger. I wanted to test fit it before I painted it and now I don't know if I want to go through the hassle of taking it back off! Here's the pics...II could only get 7 of the 10 bolt holes bolted up, some didn't even line up...more drilling is in order if I redo it.

looks good with the exception of the wave in the poluyurethane that makes it look off. If I had to do it all over again, I'd just buy the real thing and pray it didn't break.
