Here i can help with the scoop questions.

Here are a few pictures of the race scoop installed with the bumper.

The scoop itself will need to be trimmed in order to fit with this bumper. The depth of the bumper hits the scoop. The trimming is very minor. All you have to do is trim the rear of the scoop down where it connects to the car. This sucks the scoop closer to the car than the bumper. Very easy to do. You can trim the front as well. i just found it easier to do the rear portion since its not visible and you don't have to worry about how your cutting skills are!!

As far as rain in the scoop. Its no different than a stock SS bumper and water.

As long as your not driving in flood waters, you will be fine. The Intake is designed for this.

Here is an actual quote from Chase at Apex Motorsports when asked about water getting into the intake.

"There is nothing to worry about. In order for water to get to the air box it would have to enter the scoop, negotiate a 45 degree corner, make a 90 degree turn upward, and then climb about 12 inches vertically. While the scoop does direct additional cool dense air flow into the intake it does not create a vacuum capable of doing all that. Water vapor condenses against the back wall of the scoop and is drained through weep holes in the bottom rear corners."

I think it still goes pretty well without side skirts and all the extra's. Here are some that are without the extra body kit pieces:

I am ready also, but I can wait if ny2ss/rs wants to wait. It is the weekend either ways so I understand that Rideskinz will probably be closed over the weekend. I am in no rush for the bumper

Also, this is for Rideskinz. Does the LED bar in the slots come in an RGB version that can be purchased through you or on eBay?

Tony, this is Zach, I've been emailing you recently about ordering the Agressor 2 hood for my 2010 IBM 2LT/RS but would love to get in on this group buy if we can still make it work to get the fascia painted like I requested ( IBM with the bottom middle part glossy black along with the bottommost strip all along the bottom) without the mail slot, but with the LED lighting, such that I can come down to your shop and get it installed one day during the week of Mar 30-Apr 3. I love how it looks on the IBM Camaro in the photo you recently posted. I also have the heritage grille. Please let me know, I'm ready to go/pay/etc when you are. :-)

Added MrTeacher and ny2ss/rs to the list

Tony how do you want payment?
Do you want deposit now and rest when it ships or how do you usually do it?

Also - any update on the mesh grill being included since we've got a larger group than originally anticipated?
