Car looks great. Id do the fender mod now. Just follow the how to and use a small stainless bolt, washers and locking nut. After you do the mod, dont forget to heat up the fender liner with a heat gun and re mold it.

I like both your bro's wheels. I would suggest against relying on just zip ties holding the bumper. On one side the zip tie ripped through the hole.

Since you have 3 piece wheels you can put ur current lips from the back in the front and buy two new 10.5 from work to go in the back, although they are quite expensive. But 45 is not aggresive at all soo you might just sell these and buy new wheels.
