Well, I got everything primed, sealed, and painted. The car is back on the ground now, too. I've driven it around and the car feels very solid compared to before. Bumps don't rattle the car and feel way more solid. I'm very happy in those regards. The only real indication of increased chassis stiffness I was able to "test" was when taking the car off the cribbing. The front driver's wheel was the last to come off. I had the jack set just behind the 2nd body mount. At the point where I had just enough room to get the cribbing slid out, the rear driver's wheel was already off the ground and the front passenger wheel was just slightly off the ground. That's way better than stock.
Here are the final pictures.
As you can see, you can barely see them
From behind looking forward they don't look out of place at all to me.
I'm really happy with the way I transitioned them into the factory rear rails. They look like they belong and that's what I was going for.
I'll need to get an alignment before I go forward with the suspension just to verify nothing is out of whack. Tried to do that today but they were busy. I double checked the squareness of the subframe before starting all this but I'm only human and not about to start cutting up the front suspension if there's a problem that needs to be corrected now.
Thanks
