As you may remember, I decided to do most of the bumper work myself to save money. All of the quotes in my area were about $1000 to prep and paint my new bumper. I just didnt have that kind of cash sitting around right now. So with the guidance of my neighbor, I took on the task myself. It was quite a learning experience as I have never done any kind of body work myself. I think it came out pretty good for my first time. I did all of the sanding and filling myself. The prime and paint process was through a shop. After getting it back, I can certainly see places where I should have put more time into. But all in all, it came out pretty good. You will notice that there are no fog lights. Originally the plan was to use the foglight ducts I purchased, but I didnt like the way they fit, so I opted for nothing right now. I will probably get some black mesh to fill them in down the road. While the bumper was off, I took some time to add a few extras. I relocated my overflow tank with a Moroso unit. I added Stillen IC ducts. Although I had to cut them to fit with the new bumper, which I wasnt too happy about. Its very clear now from the pictures that I need to wax the rest of the car badly lol :) Here are a few quick pictures I took at lunch. 
Also, I decided to clean up the look of my interior. I moved the gauges off the a-pillar to the center console. I moved the SAFC and AVCR to the glovebox. I changed the MOMO wheel out to a different style that matched my interior a little better. I put in a new shift knob, shift boot, and ebrake boot. The results speak for themselves. Here is a before and after picture. Before:
