Its not pretty but it works until the retainer is released and I take the front end off again. Even though its secured with zip ties its surprisingly sturdy.

Thanks man, I was wondering if it would look right without them. i'd rather spend the extra money to get them and complete the look than have something that looks out of place of unfinished.

Thanks for your input and I cant wait to see the pics!

You can judge for yourself from the pic, I don't think it looks bad but it would look better with the skirts.

Nope left them alone, and can hardly notice them. I'm holding off on the hood since its suppose to be pretty expensive. The sun coast creations replica one is only a grand so that's on my mind.

Nothing is hooked up yet... I always get lazy when it comes to wiring (still haven't hooked up the tail light on my high wing spoiler)

I'm going to tap into my parking lights for the halogen DRL and probably run the lower projector fogs on a separate switch

Yep - I'm just tapping the relay off the parking lights, and power will come from the battery.

$157 per side, shipped to you door from MaureenM@rogerschevrolet Can't beat that

I reused all my hardware
I respect what you're saying. The absorber must be replaced and you don't have a splitter on the V6 bumper so it was impossible not to purchase any hardware to attach the splitter to the bumper.
