Ya the wait is driving me crazy 
, but worth it in the end.
Other mods that are being done that I have not posted is..... Headlights are gonna be blacked out and customized, tail lights and turning signals will be tinted (to flow, and avoid having chrome and red showing on the jdm tails), The lip of my volk GTS will be painted gloss black and the face will be painted a matt/ or flat black, the BBK Caliper will be color matched to the car (because the color they came in wouldn't really flow with what I am doing), and the side mirrors will be painted either gloss or flat black(not sure yet, I didn't want to just get the shells in CF that are offered, and the craftsquare mirrors still haven't grown on me), a few other things are in the works but I can't reveal everything

I went to the shop today to snap pics of the front bumper and to my suprise the car was in the booth getting masked and ready for paint
.....
Well here are the pics I promised along with a few of the parts I purchased a while ago that were sitting around the shop.
08+ Headlights

Rims and stretched tires (very dusty because they have been sitting in the shop since June)
Alliance BBK(just the caliper, I didn't want to unpack the rotors and everything else)
In the booth

thanks...ya volks were dirty/dusty as hell. Not a big deal though because they are gonna be prepped and painted. Calipers will not stay the same color, they will be prepped and painted aswell.
Looks good man! Im not getting mine out tomorrow like planned, so we'll see if my wait was worth it or not when its finished. As for yours, it looks like progress is moving along quickly!!! I can't wait to see it, I think its gonna look amazing!!! Definitely a sick color choice that's for sure.
And I don't know why, but I'm thinking that pink is gonna offset the blue nicely! What color are you painting them? I've always been a fan of brakes that stand out, like the project mu calipers do on certain z's!
