Any LED bumpers out there?

Im in love with the LED lighting being done on the Newer Porsche's and Mercedes. Are there any front bumpers being made for our cars with the LED parking lights being done?

I've seen a few headlight modifications here and there but im more interested in the LEDs in the lower body. Im not talking about buying a $10 LED strip off of Ebay, are there any body shops/manufacturers making a front bumper kit?

not currently.

IMO any LED or halo mod done to our cars is just going to look out of place. leave that to the BMWs and Audis.

This. Exactly why you don't see it made on our cars. It looks out of place. Only place I'd ever put LEDs is in the headlights

I say don't do it! Or try it, and I hope no ones comes out with a bumper like that. It would look cheesy!! I love the way our G's look.

I like the '10 G37 optional daytime running LED's. I don't think they look cheap and the pattern (3 lines or triangle pattern) doesn't look like any other car--unfortunately, just too expensive for what you get IMHO. I think over time, most cars will have LEDs just like HID is mainstream today.

Hmm..not as bad as I was expecting! Might look better if they sit flush in the lower grill? The night pics look nice!

to make them sit flush they will stick out and not look stock.so i made them sit flush with the bumper,but the bumper curves so i went with the curve and the lights point out a little but oh well.they look stock
