The 03-04 seems shorter than the 05-06. Will do a side by side comparison pic of the oem bumpers next week.

Money talks?... how much "more"
the revised version looks way better! Kinda off topic but, why didnt they make the 03-04 turn signals come on with the headlights and had that stupid parking light instead. this is something i've always wondered.
There's a black one out there now. The revised version lines is what will be done for the 03-04, as well as a more defined line for the fenders. We've been taking note of everyone's input so it's not falling on deaf ears when you guys mention stuff.
I really like the fog light look that tim's doing with his new bumper. Seems like a really rare thing to see G's with the lower mounted fogs. maybe something to keep in mind for the next up and coming design.
Viet, that is awesome!!!! Great way to produce product for sure. I wish others would be as open...
Speaking of which, I hate to naysay anything, but I'm not big on the side skirts (shot self in head?) - I'm wondering if the 03-04 will flow with OEM mudguard level?... I think that painting side sills of our years will help the look... and from what I can tell from the stance of the 05-06 bumper, OEM sides painted might look okay... I wasn’t real fond of the sides posted... F-ing LOVE the bumper though!!!!
I know Nismo, etc sides are an option… but they all look very aftermarket… I like semi-OEM look… that’s what’s so intriguing about the bumper you created!

I know viet, there is a huge market for you. I think from what i've been reading, if you revised the front to flow better with OE (which you have) you should do a rear before the sides. I'm sure you have seen the rears available for the sedans, with the exception of the nismo, no one really is down to get em. LOL

I guess I'm wondering if bottom bumper edge is going to be based on OEM sides or lower sides?... Are 05-06 OEM lower than 03-04?... If not, the current is bueno!
