Ongoing tally of the damage. I took off the front air dam and I really like the look. It also helped me realize that the grille guard is well and truly fucked up. Don't pay attention to the trail light...I just bought the tools to tighten it back down and haven't gotten to it yet.
Some superficial damage to the bumper cover and I looked down the mounting hardware for the grille guard and saw some issues.

Just detailed. She needed it. Reward for all her hard work and never letting me down, even as I tore off her bumpers, knocked the exhaust out of its hangers and bent the grille guard.
I drilled a few holes into the lower bumper guard to tie it up. I enjoy the clearance thanks to removing the front air damn, but it obviously supported part of the bumper.
The metal rod on the exhaust that goes through the hanger on the vehicle is bent back. I tried to re-bend it and ended up pulling the entire exhaust system around. I'll have to have my shop do it when they install rear springs, but for now I'll drive with that part hanging out.
