Time has come for a new bumper. I am torn between two different styles. First and foremost, my photoshop skills suck. If someone can make the bumper IP, I'd appreciate it. Second, I hope Sammy is cool with me using the bumper from one of his pics, it matched up pretty well with the way I had a pic of my car and the way he had his. I will probably have this made sometime in January.

That said, Kenstyle or Benzstyle? Also, I'm curious as to weather I should have single projector fog lights or dual projector fog lights. If I do dual, I'll have to remove the housing and make another one to fit both, basically there won't be a vent on the sides, it will merely be for the fogs, but if it's single it will be just like the other Kenstyles.

I've been planning things for quite some time, several months now, and it was this or the Impul, but I think Tim (ttrank) had the Impul going so I wanted something different.

Kenstyle


Benzstyle


PLEASE KEEP IN MIND I'M NOT GOING FOR AN OVERLY AGGRESSIVE LOOK. MORE FOR THE VIP LOOK.

Here's a couple other ideas I had. One is to incorporate a mesh style grill, but I think it's more sporty than luxury.



I'll post another one up, but I'm wanting to get an M45 hood piece in chrome and also do an emblemless chrome grill (or one like the OEM color if possible).

Don't mind the chrome bumper moldings, I'm not going to do that (unelss it's molded on and that won't be for this setup, would also have to be molded on for the doors and the rear bumper and not so thick as well either).



Update:

Added a couple more chops, found out how to change the color of the bumper, maybe not the correct way but good enough. Chopped up single and dual proejctors.

For quick reference, here they are:










Completed proejct (minus paint and fogs):

 

hahaha, nice... i'm pretty sure ARCH is makin' a K2 front for 03-04's then 05-06's after.

 

I would go Kenstyle with single fogs. Dual fogs will be too much.

 

+1^

 

Yeah I know they are, but it's a K2..doesn't have the fogs. I've been planning this way before any of the vendors had thought about putting it into production. I would have had it done last month, but financial issues hit.

Thanks for the suggestions, if I go with a single fog it would be cost effective as well.

I was thinking of keeping the bar in the lower vent but I don't think it would look right with a grill, maybe with the mesh one, but still kinda iffy about that one.

 

Which bar are you talking about?

 

 

Yea I think it'll look cool, I am assuming the fogs look like that also?

 

Yep, not sure if I want the fog light housing to be body color or black.

 

I actually like the bar.

 

i think benzstyle suits the vip cars more! with a emblem less grille (maybe oem color rather than black)

 

Kenstyle single projector all the way!

 

i think the benzstyle has kinda a sporty feel to it. reminds me of the mercedes sl..
the kenstyle is great, the angle of the sides of the grill flows nicely to the bottom.

kenstyle with single fogs for me.

 

I wouldn't mind sporty, just nothing aggressive like the top secret kit from strafe. I think for the sedans it's a bit too aggressive unless you go all out with the kit.

I just did the benzstyle chop for fun, doesn't look bad, just not sure if i'd go through with it since the kenstyle flows really well, would be less work as well.

 

What about the Hikkatadori K2?
