Nismo sedan bumper shaved and modded!

So as you all know I've been building up My sedan with random parts that have come through the shop, I pride myself in building a unique Car. I'm going for an aggressive looking sedan, the cowl hood started my obsession with one off parts, which was developed to clear some mods I was installing. I really dislike the front plate area on the Nismo bumpers so today I started to hack away and get rid of that once and for all. As I was doing that we got a wrecked prelude with a rear body kit that was destroyed and the vents quickly came off and where transplanted right onto my bumper. I know this is not the style of most, but I really really like how this project is coming out! The vents were originally z3 looking vents on the rear bumper of a prelude, they didn't flow very well the way they were supposed to go so I just turned them around to guide air in where I'll mount some oil coolers or a Trans cooler. Here are some pics and I'll post more once I get further into the project. Please be respectful if you don't like it, no need for harsh words there are polite ways to say you don't like something. Thank you all in advance I love posting on here and seeing what other Sedan owners are doing!

Thank you very much, it's my own personal twist. Once it's painted it will pop!

Still working on the bumper but I couldn't wait, so I sat the bumper on the car just to see how it will look. I need to do something with the side skirts but I'm not sure what I plan on doing yet.

I really need help finding wheels actually I'm at a stand still there. Any suggestions that you think would flow? ? Keeping in mind I'm not rich either I'd like to keep rims around 1500 and then tires about another 1500 so 3k. Can go to 4 if needed but prefer not to.

Love your car. I just think the front bumper is a little too busy. I'll probably change my mind when its painted though.

Noticed, that is a pretty big flare on your fenders. Planning on some crazy wheels?

First of all thank you all very much for the feedback I really appreciate it all both the good and bad. And I plan on running a large tire since it will be getting the LS3 swap very very soon. The LS will be boosted before it goes in so I'll need some grip. I want to squeeze a 285 to a 305 I'm not certain yet. The front I flared to match but will also be putting a slightly larger tire, maybe 245 or 255. The front was cosmetic honestly just to match the rear and give it an aggressive custom look.

What do you mean? If you're talking about fitment it's because it's just sitting there, the bumper and grill are not mounted because I'm not done fabricating the stuff yet, they are just sitting there for an idea of how it will look.
