Need Creative Ideas for GTR front bumper!

Well my friend, i will try to look at it from the liberal stand point and try not to critique your goal. If i had your car and your setup this is what i would do:
1. I would paint the whole bumper to match the car
2. then any holes, gaps, vents that the bumper may have, insert chrome billet grilles
hope it helps

Ok So I forgot the wonderful feeling of fiberglass (even with gloves on, I am still itchin like a mother!) Here is an update of my progress of the GTR front I played with tonight

I am shaving side markers and the groves under headlight, but should I take out the holes under the headlights at bottom too, ? just like the real gtr bumper.

That sure would be something. I'm gonna support you with your project, it seems like it'd turn out to be something sick. Although personally if I were to have a car like yours, it'd be strictly a show car. Not sure about driving around in a car like that, but nice to show off.

Ok, if you are going to smooth out the lines/grooves under the headlight, so that the entire bumper is smooth there, then YES, cover the holes below them too... if you have all of that smoothed out, that bumper might turn out looking alright. (Still not a fan, but l def think that your ideas would make it better)

This is a step by step of shaving guide for some of you to use in the future! It is not easy and takes patience. But the end result is great! You get to be different from the crowd! Anyways, I shaved the groves under lights so far, also the side markers and added 1/4 inch under where the hood closes in the middle because there is a small gap there with this bumper and I don't like it! I am still debating taking out the big holes under each light. If I do, I feel as though I should add something (RedSkylineGT mentioned to leave side markers but I took those out, and he mentioned to add groves like the real GTR bumper has) ...It's the details that always get me! lol

idk about this... if you're going to try to be diff, why not just do a custom widebody? maybe i'm a hater cuz i have a real GTR, but to be honest, no matter how you tweak it, the GTR bumper is edgy and the G35 is curvy, why take away that awesome aspect? i'm still curious though, goodluck?
