Going into the Night (Package)!

I was putting the car up on the garage lift. Didn't take the time to secure the ramps properly (supposed to put a pin in) and, when backing the car up, the ramp slid forward and cracked my front spoiler and grill. So that sucks.

To make lemonade out of lemons, I'm going to use the opportunity to replace the silver spoiler parts with the blacked out ones from the Night Package. Ordered all the pieces today and should be in over the next few weeks. I'll take before and after (and some during) pics and share.

Almost completed (still trying to figure out what to do with the blades on the hood scoops and front fender), but very happy with how it turned out.

@vanwinklsw Sure wish the pre-facelift had the separate front lip. We have to replace the entire bumper if it's damaged at the bottom. For the fins you can try using a plastic paint, like HyperDip, if you want to do it yourself. Fairly easy to do. You could also bring it to a shop and have them wrap the fins.

Take the off, take them apart and paint the silver. Tried wrapping but the parts compound curves made it unacceptable. painting is time consuming but not hard.
