Bumpers are always going to be getting messed up, it's better to fix them up for cheap than constantly replacing or getting it professionally done, it's just not worth it when anything can happen.
It looks great though! No one but you will be able to see that it was ever scratched up.

it's going to be one of those things that ONLY the owner can see what's wrong everytime he looks at that spot. sucks, but to us it looks good!

So when I got home today to do my sides, I found out the rubber weather stripe was coming off on one of the sides. smh, now I have to go and return and have them order another one

Thanks Chris, The project came out to be 88$ and I have two spray cans of OEM PMM left.
Yea, thats what my buddy at the detailing shop said. Front bumpers are meant to take a beating and I shouldnt worry about it to much.
Exactly, Hopefully Ill forget about it eventually.

Great results man...really impressed. Did you ever work at a body shop, or did you just learn from trial and error over the years?

I never worked at a body shop and is actually my first time painting a body part. Just a lot of research and youtube videos.
These are the videos I went by.

But I'm guessing you don't have a dust free paint booth, or access to one. Just did it all in your garage?

Lmk if you have any questions. A tip I want to add is wiring them to your rear signals is easier in my opinion but you can wire them to the front as well.
Is it easier to wire them to the rear signals due to ease of access versus going to the front? Also, you may have mentioned it, but did you wire the signals directly together or use a female/male plug somewhere in between?

Since I do electrical work on a daily base I had some in my box. I add a connector in the door panel the same place as the mirror controller harness connector was. I felt like it was more convenient in the future if I need to take off the mirror I can just unplug them. I linked the ones I use below.

Yeah that's what I'm looking to do. Thanks for the link!
