Here's an update.
I ordered my 3.5" IRO kit and BD Shocks last week, and my Rims, lugnuts, and centercaps just now. Should be getting everything in later this week. Tires will be ordered this week, and I bought another can of Duplicolor Semi-Gloss Black Spray Paint to do my rear bumper tomorrow. I'll have some pictures up after I'm all done.

Almost There :

Painted my rear bumper today. Same paint as the front, came out pretty nice. Still need to fix up some spots though because 1 can wasn't enough. I also made a write up if anyone is interested
