Nice! Diggin the flushed out look! Do you have a remote boot-popping thingumy, or do you just pop the boot from inside the car?
So what's the plan with the bumper? Is it the boot-opening-grip-indent-thing that you're thinking of flushing off? So would you then open your boot by lifting on the spoiler?? (sorry, just curious! Haha)

EDIT: sorry, Aussie speaking here... when I say boot, I mean what you guys call 'trunk' hahaha

Unsure what I'm going to do thus far. Think I may leave it. Eventually it will be a remote key fob. I still have to repaint the bumper because of the repair with fiberglass on the pass corner. Once I finish with my GS front lip, ill paint them both at the same time.

Also got new motor mounts and a transmission mount as well as new ball Joints and tie rod ends coming. Found an EGR pipe at the reckers from a 1.5 protege so my EGR is fixed. Got anotherone from a fellow Mc-3.com'er on the way so I can get the right size Bung test fitted and welded to the Genie Headers. Allot to do and so little time.

I ran out of paint again so I just have a base coat down with a few coats of clear to protect it. I'll end up sanding again to get the rough parts, laying several more layers of base then 6 or 7 layers of clear to really protect from chips and such. This is my first attempt at a complete repair using fiberglass. The GS lip was completely broken in several places. I think it turned out good. Hope you guys enjoy.

Awesome work, bro! That looks fantastic - the shave job with new rear lights, and that shot with the bra is just porn! ;)
