back for some updating! well ive got the rear bumper and crash bar assembly off! took a little convincing with a BFH but she is off...i took a few pictures to let you guys check it out...it kinda looks funny...almost like the rear of a c6 if you put a flush bumper on haha! 
anyways more for your enjoyment...wnmech (rick) is planning on dropping by later this week to help me wreck off the body bolts to finish up getting it ready for body removal...
keep an eye out!

If you have a chance, please take some photos of your front extension...the bottom side. Mine is tweaked where the front would bolt to the spoiler so I'm trying to get a reference to build from. Thanks

It is looking good..Take your time! it is very rewarding as you make progress.
I found my take sticker on top if the tank.. reach up around the front side of the tank and see if you can feel it. if so...then I just worked mine off slowly. if it won't move...then drop the gas tank...it's worth getting.
