Got some help from a friend that wraps things for a living tonight. Front bumper is done!
Next up is the lip, might redo the rear bumper since I got a glimpse at a better way to do a bumper.

Exciting package came in wayyyyy faster than I thought. This bad boy is straight from poland.
Musk Customs "M-package" front lip. Its fiberglass, but oh my is this a quality and solid piece! Fit the bumper so well I could hold it up in the air by the bumper and the lip didnt even move.
So hyped to get the bumper and lip wrapped and see this shit on the car on the ground!

Update.
Got the trunk wrapped and installed the tail lights.
Also wrapped the driver side door. And got all the trim on.
Then got the fenders installed along with the chrome grills in the hood. Also fitted up the headlights and corners.
I found out when I was disassembling the car that the driver side axle was leaking some grease from the inner boot. Ordered up a boot kit which was $20 and even febi brand! So I rebuilt that axle today. Was super simple and quick.

UPDATE.
More wrap progress. Got the driver side quarter, rear panel under the trunk (forgot to take a pic) and also the hood done!
and finally some non wrap related stuff Haha. Picked up this PMC Motorsport chassis mount shifter. Super nice and beefy piece!
Honestly I am slightly worried that my stock DSSR will become a weak point because of this shifter so that's on the list eventually. There isnt much banging gears with the track we mostly drive.

Another wrap update but I cant help myself because I'm hyped hahah.
Finished the passenger door then got new clips installed on the trim and popped those on along with wrapping the door handle.

Update.
Thanks to the help of @Earl and @SamHolzmann last night was very productive. Pulled the motor and trans out of the car. Replaced the clutch which actually wasnt even that worn lol. But we put in a stage 2 sprung carbon kevlar disc and a new pressure plate anyways. Also replaced the I take manifold gaskets which I neglected to do last winter. Then we were able to get the engine and teand back and mounted into the car.
Now I'll be able to get the engine bay back togeather! Still would like to replace the exhaust and the driveshaft due to the u-joint having some play and the CV on the driveshaft starting to go bad.

Got a new phone, galaxy s10 and this camera is fucking dope. Wide angle option makes taking photos of the car and parts so much more fun hahaha
And got the driver side fender wrapped tonight as well.

Wrapped the passenger side of the car today and damn does this get me even more excited.
And of course I was itching to see what the clear tails looked like.

UPDATE
Finished up sealing the rear inner quarters that I cut to make some room. Only got a photo of the right side but you get the idea. Sealed the cuts with 3M seam sealer and then sprayed undercoat over everything.
Also finished up the evap delete. Looped the vent and installed an inline filter to keep dirt out. Found a great write up on the evap delete for e46 on another page.
Vented from the filter up as high as I could since there is alot of debris whipped up from drifting. Not sure if I shared a photo before but I also removed all of the evap lines from the back to the front of the car along with the canister from the rear.
Also wrapped the roof, and this color is so hard to show in photos but I'm hyped.
Here's one of the new M skirts wrapped as well.

Got a few part in the mail recently. No photos but nothing extremely exciting. The new clutch came in, intake manifold gaskets, a cv boot rebuild kit and a rear plastic thing (idk what the proper name is haha) and then the covers for the low beam side of my headlights.
Also got my abs plastic in to finish the rear bulkhead too. Used my CAD (cardboard aided design) template traced it out and started cutting.
Got everything trimmed right then drilled some holes. Used M5 nutzerts and some stainless M5 hardware to secure it.
