Thanks for the compliments guys. The bumper actually needs to be sanded a lil bit more and another coat of primer put on but it did turn out real nice. I went to a body shop to see if I could get a quote today and they said they need to see the car to even tell me any numbers. The fender and door were off of a 92 camaro which I didn't know that the fenders were bigger on those but i trimmed it and put the mounting bracket off my other fender and it seems like its gonna fit good. I think I am going to get the whole car painted black.

Looks like you did a really good job on the bumper. Black will look awesome on there.
