This is the bumper you should rework to fit the Sedan.

It is sporty, agressive, while at the same time very civilized!

It is the Kuruma Z bumper.

I actually talked to the manufacturer back in the spring. He said he'd make one for the sedan but would need at least 20 people for it.

I really really like that Kuruma Z bumper. A lot of the other front bumpers look too ricey for me for the sedan. I'd definitely buy this if it was available.

Automotivemods tried to start something up a while back, but that went nowhere. I also tried to gauge interest recently, but that didnt get much. (also, you and I may be thinking of the same manufacturer)
Maybe we should start a poll to test the waters now, to see if we really could get enough interest in any particular style kit. Some of the recent threads have helped revive this topic, so hopefully we could get some good responses on specific styles.

IMO, it is going to be tough, everyone has different opinions on what they want and there wouldnt be enough people to support production of multiple styles. Not yet anyway... but it wouldnt hurt to try again now.

I honestly believe that if ANY vendor comes on and says "we're gonna make this bumper, put your name down" people will sign up. I know I would. The problem is like you said, when we give out too many options, the "discussions" start and we always end up with nothing in the end. The other challenge is that it's not just for sedans that vendors have to make any bumper or lip for, it's for TWO different sedans! Junction Produce is working on a prototype as we speak and if all goes well, we should see the prototype for our cars in the near future.

In case anyone is interested in seeing how it looks on the sedan...

I used a picture of DieselX's car and photoshopped the bumper on to it.
