Lightbulb Need Creative Ideas for GTR front bumper!

I purchased the AIT GTR front (http://www.aitracing.com/shop/index....oducts_id=1370) and need help figuring how to paint it! My car is a custom red and my theme is red w/ chrome (door handles, rims, headlights, and interior with some chrome) and I don't like the big black opening in the middle, I wanted to maybe paint part of it (or all of it) red. I cannot find enough ppl with this bumper yet to get any ideas! Please help and post of pix of this bumper painted and crafted differently. I will get pix up soon when I figure out what I want to do. Thanks

Don't try to be something you are not... It's a simple rule.

Not so much, because I am molding out all the crazy lines of the bumper and making it more smooth and shaving the side markers off. I molded my whole body together except front end (if you lived here, u'd understand these roads should be considered off road!)

I'm sure pics of the rest of the car would really help out.

haha, I am not afraid of a few bad critics, you can't win them all! Plus everyone has different opinions. My goal when I bought my G 3 years ago is to make it different from any other one out there. I have not posted any pix of the car yet because I wanted to wait until I was done with all the fabrications. I had the Greddy front before (pic uploaded) but wanted to go to the GTR and modify it some. REDSKYLINEGT- your car is a very nice looking car, and I give you props!

Lol, why all the Nay-sayers? I didn't post this to hear all the bad stuff. I enjoy converting the car and making it different. It is my choice, plus its not like I have a big APC sticker on the window and a 6ft tall alum spoiler

alright back on topic

i think your current setup would work better with your Red + Chrome theme

i don't think a chromed out GTR bumper would look any better than it already does

but then again let's see what you can do with it and keep us updated

I think we already know your stance from the last 100th post on any thread with this bumper. Nobody should be trashed so hard for trying to be different. He pays the bill and drives His car. Does it matter Rock your Car the way you want. Don't become a Lemming.....

Thanks for getting back to topic and helpin I am not going to chrome out the middle, lol. I think i might paint a strip of red across just like the real GTR is. And get some chrome grill for all the inserts. I just cleared some space in the garage to work on it and gotta pick up some more glass on the way home from work tonight. I might start playing with it. I am shaving the side markers and molding in the areas that grove in under the headlights flush with the bumper for sure though.
