What's your plan to get the hood and fenders aligned with the new grille contours? I assume you'll add fiberglass as needed... but getting those to line up is what I figured would be the hardest part and will make or break the project.

I'm envious of your skillset. I'm not great with bodywork.

Yes, I knew that was going to be a mount first, then try and align issue... I’m looking at the best way to try and follow the lines without distorting the black trim... I dont want to cut or put fiberglass on my fenders incase I do have to back out...

It really does consume the front end...

I promise not to comment on your idea.................. but I suggest DON'T cut anything on your car, you may regret & go back to original look..

Here’s some more angles of the bumper on... It would be the perfect match if I were to cut on my side fenders...
