I love seeing these types of posts too.
Where did you order the rear bumper from? I know I need one and never found a place to get it.

Wish I had access to a paint booth still 
All that paint on the inside of the booth sure wouldn't last long at the booth I used. The teacher would be ticked off

sorry for the lack of info
Spoiler came today, here are some pictures.
just threw it on, didn't do any fitting or anything so its very rough, but you get the idea!
any tips for making the spoiler fit right? the hatch piece fits fine, but the quarter panel pieces seem to fit poorly.

Looks like everything is coming along great. But I have a quick question:
Will having the front end up like that (from no hood or fenders) effect how the SFCs weld on? From my understanding, they should be welded on with the car at ride height. I'm probably wrong, but I'm not too sure.
Anyway, keep up the good work.

What he said. Spohn says to load the suspension while welding your SFCs in. And with these body panels off it will be different. When I did it I put jack stands under the rear axle and both front axles to simulate the load in the suspension when the car sits on the ground.
