Wow. Looks a little too wild for my taste, but I'm excited to see how this turns out. Reminds me a lot of what another user did with his front bumper.. Can't remember his username but I think his name is Remy?

Here's my boring contribution, shot with a Nexus 4

It looks interesting but idk... I don't like the top of the grille in the middle where it comes down, I don't get that part. And I feel like the rest of the car isn't aggressive enough to handle the front bumper.

Can't wait to see how it turns out though

Labor costs, your looking at around $2K+
Parts will depend on whether you get an LFA bumper vs GS, but that'll set you back $1K-$1.5K+

Btw i don't know if you noticed in the lfa inspired front bumper, but grill area you see is in another tone of color is because it is carbon fiber, the gs-f bumper will have it too, nice touch. In my case you almost wont notice it cause of the dark color, it looks really sick on white!

Glad to see you on the forum. Been seeing the cars from your parts of the world with those bumpers for a while and was wondering when someone would pop up on the forums here. Keep up the custom work
