Nice look. For some reason your IP looks more white than IP....if that makes sense. Either way I like it.

I know what you mean by the smooth lines of the car, but the car has lines and plenty of them. Now instead of incorporating and matching, you made the front bumper look like it's had plastic surgery gone wrong.

Original is much better - but I - like the others can appreciate your .02 and if you love it - that's all that matters at the end of the day.

Thanks Guys!

+1, I'm not sure I'm diggin' it either. Definitely looks like an over-done plastic surgery or like a hot chick that's missing eyebrows or something.

I think those lines NEEDS to be on it. Sorry, but don't no offense or anything, it's just MHO also.

There you go - a great analogy!

Still don't want to be harsh. I feel bad, but it does just look better the way Nissan designed it. I'm having mine installed next month - can't wait!!!!

LOL! i can appreciate an honest opinion.
Most other bumpers out there don't have lines/grooves and are smooth around the vents etc. That's what I was going for. So i guess they all look like chicks without eyebrows!

I agree with sdgenius & finallygottaG it would look better if the ducts were painted blk, otherwise it looks just like an oem bumper

Here are few pics of my ride from back in the day with the blk ducts and the line removed as op's

I think the problem with smoothing it out is now the vents look smaller, it might have been a better transformation if you made the vents. It does look muted.

A for effort though, def unique.

eh... TOO smooth, not enough attitude. nismo is already a very subtle bumper, only SLIGHTLY more aggressive than OEM imo. and you took that away from it.

I am going to have to agree with the people that said you ruined it, the idea was good but the end result looks weak...as long as you like it I guess

not a fan, but I think it would look a lot better with the vents painted black
