So i'm debating whether or not to do some minor fabrication to the bumper by cutting off the bottom middle piece and molding my front lip.. and maybe even removing the fogs... I've photoshopped the results of what my idea is.. and I think the look may be too subtle to justify spending money and time to do it..... What do you guys think... All opinions are welcomed!!!

Current



AFTER



Another IDEA!!!!

How bout a custom rear Kit .. LFA Style.. Any thoughts?????



(I may have too much time on my hands)

It will make your car look like its yawning or possiblly surprised. I would try some black vinly or plastidip to see how it looks in person before cutting your oem bumper.

I wouldn't cut up my stock bumper....but that black vinyl sounds like a better idea to me

Leave the fogs

It sort of reminds me of the grill opening on the GS concept car, which I'm still trying to figure out if I like or not.

I think it would look cool! I'd leave the fogs though.

I have a spare bumper I was going to give you if you were local, so you could hack it without regret. I just replaced mine, the old one has a few scratches from the previous owner that I could not live with.
