Could you see if they can make a custom lower grille? That gap is just way too big to fill with just mesh. Most of the car pics I've seen with a huge gap like that covered with wire mesh appear to be caved in. You need a support bracket behind to hold it firm.

Looks pretty good so far. The fit would bother me a little as there is a somewhat big gap between the fender and the bumper and the arch of the kit doesnt match the stock wheel arch but this will be kinda hard to notice since ur paintin it black
Also thats pretty damn low watch bumps and curbs!

Whoa, How are they going to buff the entire car, and put it completely back together tomorrow?!?!? I hope they are doing a quality job and not just a quick in and out paint job.
Working in a body shop for many years, I've done Many overall paint jobs. And it takes quite a bit of time to do a proper, professional, no flaw overall paint job. I just hope your car doesn't have many imperfections from a quick careless job.
