Clerodendrum Smithianum [ Light Bulb Clerodendrum ] Bonsai

Hi all,
Here's a quick lil update on a Clerodendrum Smithianum [ Light Bulb Clerodendrum ] Bonsai.
I realize earlier during the week that it was rootbound in the pot, so I decided to repot the tree and ended up choosing a new front too.
Old front
Old side
The culpit
The root system.
I untangled it, removed several sections that were rotting, removed some top root to expose the "nebari"
New front
Closeup of the new front. I've kind of exposed several big roots that were previously hidden beneath tons of feeder roots.
