    Thanks Ldub, her she is before she goes......
    well, almost, looks totally different now, after removing all my mods. The only thing I left on it was the OME921 springs, otherwise the larger tires would be rubbing with the OE springs back on.

    Thanks .
    Yeah, well actually for the sides I used a spray on bra from Griots garage. Actually the stuff is pretty sweet. I've always used bras, but they are a pain to keep clean, and take on and off to wash the car, etc. Anyway, since installing the fog lights with the license plate mount, the lower bra portion would not fit, so I couldnt use it, just the hood part. So the only metal part still exposed where the front fender edges. Masked off the line, and used the spray bra stuff. Its been on there since early summer, has held up through everything, even automatic car washes, and to remove, you just peel a corner, and it comes right off, feels like a very thing latex rubber mask. The paint looked nice underneath, fended off any debri/stones, bugs, etc. I highly recommend it, just takes a little time masking off the areas cause its just like spray painting something.
    Caution: the temporary spray on bras available at Autozone, etc. are not even close to being the same, tried on (think it was by duplicolor???), its like spraying a waxy film on the car, and rubbed right off.
