When you say you would attach the lip to the bumper, you mean you would do this before or after the bumper is painted? I would assume after, since attaching it and then painting the bumper would leave the area under the lip unpainted...I'm not trying to correct you, just want to make sure I'm understanding right. Since the fenders will need to be blended, does that mean the entire fenders will need to be painted? Thank you for posting, by the way...it's much appreciated.

You're right. I'm thinking I'll just have it all done at once, because like yourself, a slight variation will drive me absolutely insane.
