**Custom Bumper Work**Pics?

Hey i was just wondering if anyone had ever taken out the top opening under the grill but over the bottom foglight grill This is one of the changes i guess from the 96 to 97 i have the 97.. Kinda hard to explain obviously. A picture might help but i can't figure out how to post pics so i will have to explain a little more. I was wondering if someone could photochop some pics of the front of a max with that "hole"/"middle Grill" filled up and smoothed over. You know so its gone so the bumper is more full looking. I feel like unless it has been done before i think it would be orginal I just need photochopped pics befoer i make a mistake. hahahah. Also if someone can photochop a pic can you get rid of the vertical lines in the lower grill i wonder what that would looe like. If i had more extensaive photochopping abilitlies i would do it myself but i am inept. Any help is much appreciated

Bad. I think having a half oval would make a maxima into a sharkxima. I don't know why everyone hates the 95-96. I love it.

Looks like one of those cartoon animated cars in a Chevron commercial (one of those gasoline commercials with the cars talking and making faces).

It looks like the maxima is tooooo happy on the 95/96 maxi but on the 97 and up that mod would look sweet.

Tyrexx? I hate to bother you but I been thinking of something, can you photoshop the bumper where the to gaps (valences) are one whole??? and they kinda of go in at the bottom end, sort of like the bottom of a skyline??? Do you get me???

I think I know what you mean, I'm not super advanced with photoshop, like I can't add a body kit, but I can do small stuff, removing things is easy.

Here's all 3 in a row

there are a few 95's on here that have cut that bar out altogether just like that last photochop you did. looks ok but a little funny, almost like they're showing their "o-face". would look good with a nice big intercooler though

How would it look with out the bottom part connecting?? I was thinking something like add the still lip, but remove the center, flare the edges inside (just a bit), take out the fogs, and it would look more aggressive/ricey. Well if looks good, it probably looks like crap. If anyone could photoshop that? THanks

Why do you guys want to cover up these holes. They are keeping your baby cool. Why not just get a kit bumper. Your going to spend a lot to have it shaved and painted.
