Well, many of you know there's an issue with the hole in the skid plate being too small to change oil (unless you want to remove bumper every time). The hole is just large enough to get to the plug, but not the filter. I hadn't seen any pics of what it looked like so I decided to snap a few for reference. After I made the hole larger, I test fit the bumper and the hole was perfect size to drain oil and replace filter with my thermo plate.

Re-positioned the HID fogs and Plasti-Dipped the front (so you won't see what's behind the mesh that will be there after paint)

I had no way to get bumper to paint shop in Mesa (other side of the world), so I drove it there:



Ready for the long ride home



Perfect time to clean the air filters and do an oil change

Tools to use:



Measured & masked off. I also had a towel covering the engine underneath:




A couple of pilot holes and then the cutting begins:





Test fitting:



I sealed and ran a tight bead of body color filler around edge since fitment in the rear is actually not very good. Doesn't completely sit flush back there:
