Default Widebody SC300 Need Ideas

As some of you already know I am the new owner of Strife57s Widebody SC300. The car currently stands like this..






The car is beautiful as it is just being my garage queen.. however I do not really care for the front vertex ridge front bumper... I was wondering does anyone know what other front bumper would look and match this kit? I think the vertex ridge front bumper is too aggressive for the rest of the car. Any photoshop and ideas will help me pick my new front bumper Thanks!

Awesome car man. Probably my computer, lighting or the camera, front fender in the first pic looks a bit creamier than the door. Crazy quality looking ride none the less.

Leave the bumper, lose the canards. I am so very jealous of your DPW on black color combo

The joys of matching DPW.

I was thinking the same thing the other day, but the front bumper being so long scrapes like no other on ANYTHING and the car is already high as is, i dont want to raise it anymore. So a different bumper wont have a aggressive lip sticking out trying to kiss every floor and its mama =)

only picture i found but i dont like this one either


no canards


maybe AC or a combination of 97+ with bigwin lip.. dont know yet if i can get a photoshop that would be sweet =)

the major issue is the front bumper is actually going to be wider to flow in with the rest of the car. try and remove the canards to see how you like it and go from there.

Spacers and lower it a couple of inches. It'll make huge diffrence. I know these things. I am an expert!
