Front bumper concept

Well I was playing around in Photoshop and came up with this for a front bumper for our car. Tell me what you guys think. It look agressive without being over the top in my opinion. The car is JSmiths.

The horizontal crease below the lights and grill is doing a bit of a smile. A little more straight across will bring the edge back to the overall Max theme. Love the 2 lower grills with the small fogs.

I like the lower lip. If someone would just make a lip kit for us thats not so aggressive.

Not bad, but I think the functionality of the Bumper support might be lost if you make that center section too short. *ie. having to remove the beam

Very interesting but the part just below the headlight looks too long. I know it's just a photoshop but it just looks too big. Do you have someone to make a proto or were you just messing around?

It is the G35's front end, the car is too edgy for a rounded front end like that.

I like it although I think it's possible to make it a bit higher off the ground so that the lowered Max's don't turn in to snow plows for the colder climate owners....Two thumbs up on the styling though!

Sweet. It's a G35.

If you wanted your car to look like another, should have just bought one....

Am I too old or is photoshop that easy to use? You are on the right track. Looks good. Have you ever considered a new carreer? You have talent.
