1. Removed the emblem and grinded off the paint to the bare plastic. Plastic welded a piece in, filling the holes.
2. Roughed up and smoothed over the surface with a 24grit roloc disc. I then cleaned the plastic removing all oils and sprayed it with Pilo Grip's plastic repair adhesion promoter. 1 light dusting. A fiberglass backing mesh was applied to the surface.
3. Applied a 2-part repair adhesive specifically for structure repairing bumpers, Urethane/TPO/ABS. Then I smoothed it over with a bondo spreader.
4. Sanded to shape up to a 180 grit finish. Ready for primer.

Started deleting the sidemarker, used a junk bumper to cutout some sidemarker delete pieces. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...ostcount=12963

Then prepped and plastic welded them in!

Looks like I won't be getting my wheel until the 2nd week of November now... Sema seems to be the reason for the delay.
