75 911 Carrera face lift project

[75Carrera]

I am just completing a "face lift" for my car. I hit a deer years ago and folded my valance under. At the time repairs were not a huge priority (financially) so I pulled it out as best I could and got used to it looking a bit shabby. I found a perfect OEM metal valance on Craig's List for $100 and made a choice to delete my fog lamps (never used) (saved for future) and add a right front air vent for my 28 bar R. fender oil cooler. I re-painted the bumper, fender wings, headlight rims then rubberized and painted the valance. I deleted my Euro plate in favor of a new OEM plate bracket and black Porsche Plate. Here's a before and almost complete picture of what I did. This was a very satisfying project and not as difficult as expected. Fitment is always interesting but workable if you take your time. I used the same rubberized spray from the valance to freshen my wheel wells and then painted the spring plates, calipers and shock housings. And "yes" the hood lid is not shut all the way in the new shot. There's a glimpse of the cooler and air vent flow clearance too... Bellows and all the rubber is replaced or waiting for Pelican to send final pieces. Oh yea, and I switched out my sissy stock horns for a "Bad Boy" self contained air horn that's sooo sweet! The guy told me it would break the glass out of the back window of any car within 50 ft. on the road (ya think he was exaggerating?)
Where are our Pelican Stickers??!!!

I moved the before pic under the after pic for better readability. Hope you don't mind.

The car looks good, I would fill the section where the rubber was on the bumper. I agree w/ you about the fogs, never used them once on any of my cars. Of course the same can be said for the radio.

Thanks Bill,
I hadn't considered the bumper without the original rubber. After it was painted however I really liked it without the rubber bumper insert. Too late though since the holes and bolts would have to be filled for a finished look. The rubber goes back on as soon as the rest of the parts arrive. I ordered and received the nylon clips buy they didn't come with the piece that goes in the holes for the clips to hold onto (duh). I was disappointed they didn't come together and made note of that to Pelican (no response). AND no stickers! What happened to our stickers?
As a side bar, the lighting on the car is so much better after polishing badly sand blasted covers and cleaning up all the wiring connections.

Just the last few touches and it's a completed project!

I finally got all the fastners for the bumper rubber and got the new vinyl numbers on the left side.
DONE
