few more shots, the lower front bumper is really beat up with lots of small deep chips, but it turn out good. unless you really go down and look hard.

the lip of the hood has some paint chips as well. i dont have something for the headlight lens, so it is cloudy.

the pictures might not do justice due to my camera and the software i used to reduce them.
