1/1 - took it apart at my buddys garage
1/15 - got it all back together
summary of my mods:

Looks good. Love your tag being a transplanted Gator myself. I have been using Mike the Powerdercoater for some stuff. He is great to work with. Look forward to seeing the calipers as I am thinking of same.
Did you or are you going to paint the lower 3 fake grilles in the front bumper to match the grill?

Wow!!! You're a modding fool! I like the drop. I like the headlights. I like the grill though I think I'd experiment a little with the emblem. I like the wheels a lot! I like the taillights tinted. Did the third brake light get tinted as well? Everything flows real nice together. It looks like you really had an idea of what you were after. Nice!

thanks everyone, i really appreciate the comments.
heh it was only supposed to be a couple weeks. shipping delays and cold weather held me up a bit. car was driving about a week ago.
gloss looks so much better with tinted windows and everything else on the car shiny.
uf alum dec 04 here. mike is a great guy. im heading back up to atl in a month to hang out and do the brakes. havent done them yet, thinking about it but its a pain to take the car down again. maybe later on.
yup spoiler light is tinted too. after 3.5 years in the g community, its nice to start over with all that experience behind me.
