Why would you do all of that work and tape the damn antenna off? Why wouldn't you take it off the car?

Thanks man, much appreciated. I'm sure you'll see the car in person sometime soon.

Bumper painted and fenders painted:

Will have pictures of them on the car tomorrow. I also took pictures of them with clear on them but I guess it didn't save but oh well.

Hopefully I can paint the hood and bumper tomorrow as well but we'll see
