Thanks guys for the compliments. As for the install of the front bumper, make sure you test fit it first before you paint it. It will make things easier. You will definitely need and extra set of hands. Someone to hold the sides into place when you drill the mounting holes and make sure it goes back as far as possible or else you will not get a proper tight fitment. Also make sure to open and close the hood several times to get the spacing evenly across the bumper and the gaps. They should be very small and only enough to get one finger between them after you hit your trunk release button. Also make sure the bumper is centered on both sides of the hood when it's closed. It took me several times to get it perfect. Its not easy. I think it would have been easier if I had put the bottom lip on after the bumper was installed. With it on the bumper, it is not as flexible and makes it much harder to move into place and set. It may be harder to reach the bolts on the lip to install the lip that way after its mounted. But if you can get your car up on a lift and up off the ground it should be easy. Make sure to put the fog light covers on before the install unless you buy the lights and decide to install them instead. Good luck!
