Just bumping to the top to make my journal easier to find. In 2-3 weeks I'll be adding Seibon's carbon fiber GFX and the Anvil carbon fiber rear spoiler to the car, replacing the original Sparks SS on the grille with the current version which is slightly larger, and installing the separate clutch reservoir. All work being done by JDP Motorsports.
Of course pics will follow.

Carbon Fiber GFX
Finally got the Seibon Carbon Fiber GFX and the Anvil Carbon Fiber rear spoiler installed. Took a lot longer than I thought. The following pictures aren't the best, but you get the idea how they look. In the sunlight these pieces really standout. That's the good news. The bad news is the install of the Seibon parts was VERY difficult. Seibon claims their pieces are direct knock-offs of the GM factory GFX, and at first glance it looks like they're right. When you try to put them on it's a whole different story. The side skirts mounting tabs are molded in with a 90 degree angle, where the GM parts flex and move the Seibon parts are fiberglass and do not flex. This makes the install much harder. The front splitter won't go on with the GM factory install clips because it too is fiberglass backed and will not flex enough to clear the clips, so the GM clips had to be removed and the splitter and front clip had to be drilled and riveted. The rear diffuser is the only part that installed without a hassle, but as is expected from two-sided tape it won't stay up without other mounting assistance--hence the screws. I'll replace them with black anodized or stainless bolts in a few weeks. The Anvil spoiler went on without a hitch, and the carbon fiber matches the Seibon so closely you'd never know they were from different companies.
Here's the pics:

Thanks, Jordan. without your help I wouldn't have half the mods. I'm too old (and busy) to do much of my own wrenching anymore, so it's good to have a shop like yours to help me out. BTW....find a buyer for my factory GFX yet?

Just got my car back from 2 months in the body shop, repairing passenger side swipe damage. $18,000 later I have my car back. Thank goodness for insurance!
Debadged the front fenders, installed Oracle's ghosted side marker lights and LED backup lights and put clearbra on the gills, door handle cups and rear bumper below trunk opening. Took the car to JDP for more goodies. Will post pictures soon of my new Ridetech coilovers which replaced my aging and rusty Xa's; replaced bushing inserts with solid polyurethane bushings; Granatelli dimpled and slotted rotors. Car looks pretty good for being so beat-up. Will post before and after pics so you can see the damage and repairs. Stay tuned!

I need a few more days to get new pics up. Ran into some roadblocks getting the new Ridetech coilovers installed. Also decided to update to ZL-1 style rear sway bar, which requires new lower control arms. I will be using Pfadt sways, front and rear. They're supposed to be a little stiffer than my Pedders bars.

New photos at last!
After months and months of tedious daily crap and other distracting work agenda items I was finally able to get some photos of my car since the accident reconstruction. Just for historic context here's some pictures of the accident taken with my cell phone (pretty crappy). The guy on the ground is the tow truck driver looking for attachment points, I didn't hit him with the car.
