I had to go to a high school football game to watch my little sister cheerlead. I picked the car up, its beautiful. I am finishing up building/installing a shift light and then I'll go take some pictures. I can't wait to post them!

The car is sharp and smooth, with no visable angles on it.

I would be very interested in seeing pics of the car you mentioned, if you find them PM me them (or post them).
I guess I agree with one point you , the Stillen does look a little more agressive than your arrangement , but no were near as non-OEM as the Greddy or TS. When I get pics I'll post them. Everyone was really suprised at how good the bumper looks with the outer holes filled with two nice black "very functional" fluid coolers.

Well, here we go. Its been a long day/night but I finally got some pics of the car. I am editing them now (in MS Paint so be nice). I will then have to burn them to a CD and upload from another computer with a faster connection.

Teaser:

you could probably modify a lot of the aftermarket front lips out there and it would look insane.. it does look stillen-esque, but stillen's has the overall look of someone's nose and this isn't like that.

it almost doesn't match the car because it is a pretty agressive bumper now.. well done though!

the bumper looks good, but it looks a little too agressive for the car that it's on.It would look great on a car dropped on 19's, with a large aftermarket lip to make it appear lower (Gialla,Ings,Burnout)

If there are any nay-sayers to this front bumper, i think a few day-time photos will hush em up real quick.

Kev, take some daytime shots.
Flash is sorta like car photo death i think.

IMO, stick on even an OEM lip on this thing and you've got one kick-**** front bumper.

Congrats bro. Keep the pictures coming.

it kind of reminds me of an is300 front end.

the workmanship and paint looks awesome. i think a lower lip would finish it off nicely, and soften the giant opening for the intercooler. it is a pretty big focal point right now.

Looks very distinct. But I retract an earlier comment I made.
This actually looks "more" agressive / less OEM than the Stillen arrangement I've seen and am working on.
