Looks great! My car's front fascia still looks pretty good but does appear to be shrinking a touch. I'd hope/think the panel gaps, while still a challenge, should be able to be made very tight/consistent with this.
Thanks!

Looks great, well done!
Love it! My fascia's been fitted with metal bars but it still sags...and drives me crazy!? Definitely something to think about if the price makes sense.
I suspect it will be along the lines of "trim to fit before painting". I would not expect a 3-page course in "How To Do Auto Body Fiberglass Repair 101". For most people this will probably require assistance of a body shop to install, i.e. probably the guy you have paint it.
You will have to have a body shop install it and fit it; after that, the price of painting it will be negligible.
I like it! :D

Very Cool stuff!
Is the reinforcement panel something that will help avoid eyebrows on these new fascias? Or was there anything done to stiffen those portions above the headlamps?
T.
The reinforcement panel mentioned is the fiberglass panel in the OEM configuration that is mounted under the urethane and actually attaches it to the body. (when your luggage hood is open you see it across the front of the trunk with all the screws in it). Rather than being a separate part it will now be part of the fascia itself.
With the whole fascia being fiberglass rather than urethane foam, it will tend to be very permanantly shaped. You don't see Corvette fenders wilting in the sun. . . .
