looks great, but how does it look without the eyelid covers that are on the headlights?

I was fortunate enough to met CCJ22 and see his ride in person. I was stunned at how good the front end worked on the 2IS and the job he did. The car is really well done.

Sorry that I've been MIA.
I have gotten many PM's asking me questions as well as for more pics.
The new wheels are on and they have been painted. I also recently received the front view cameras so I'll update this thread shortly with the new camera system and final video with the camera and wheels.
I want to thank everyone for their kind words and a special thanks to Vossen, CEIKA, and phanley auto body.
Lastly, to Yoan for the massive assist on the bumper tab relocation.

Fantastic looking front end! They did an amazing job! I read the thread front to back and couldnt find an explanation on how you got the grill to sit flush. You had mentioned that it was sticking out forward about 2 inches or so. Also, what plastic glue did your body shop end up using? Fusor?

Is this 350 from the my350z forum? If so how you been man? It's been awhile since I was over there now that I no longer have my Z.
To answer your question we had to cut the grill from the top to the bottom, remove a section of it, then restitch... Measure, then redo the whole process until it sat in flush.
They were going to use fusor but they decided on 3m instead. They preferred it's bounding over the fusor.
