As some of you might know allready, i've been excited about bringing this idea to life, I've been talking to bodykits.org and today I went to their office, talked to the ceo, and this thing is happening. Im going to sell this on my site, uniqp.com,(its under contruction guys, so dont mind the cheap look) its going to come with the grills and the lights installed, im really pushing to have this bumper as "plug and play" as possible, it will only need paint, im paying out of my pocket to get the rights and have 10 made for the first batch,
I know some people are not feeling some of the aspects of this bumper, and believe me, your opinions are more than welcome, lets get something we all like, price wise, im hoping to keep it in the 500 to 550 range, thats mostly because of the grill, then the lights,
It will prolly come with a detachable center piece, (the upside down t) you get two bumper for the price of one!, if I can get a cheap way to make more we can keep designing more center pieces to change the look every now and then.
Well guys, no much more to say, expect this to be out in january or feb next year.
this is what it should look like, we might change some things in the molding process but this is what im shooting for.
photoshopers use this image to add your own grill design for the center piece

Its confirmed, this bumper is going to be made of Duraflex...
"DURAFLEX technology is a revolutionary product which combines fiberglass, plastic, and flex resins to obtain its unique features. DURAFLEX products obtain a much higher durability rate than the average fiberglass product, reducing shipping damages up to 75%. Every DURAFLEX product is inspected through a rigorous quality control process giving consumers the highest quality product available with superior craftsmanship. This process ensures that DURAFLEX products are free from normal fiberglass deficiencies including waviness, spider cracks, chips, and gel coat damage. DURAFLEX products come finished with a shiny black gel coat, high quality mesh, hardware kit, and an installation guide. With such attention to detail, DURAFLEX products are surprisingly affordable, roughly 50% of the cost of a comparable high quality JDM product. DURAFLEX products include many advantages of both fiberglass and poly- urethane aerodynamics, while leaving out most of the disadvantages."
More details coming tomorrow.

those sides will prolly not make it, I was thinking on just using the vip sides, the rear bumper im gonna work on some shops over the weekend,
prices front and rear are going to be about 400 each in duraflex with the mesh, as for the fog or drl im still working on those. shipping will vary from 80 to 150 anywhere in the US.
here are the sides im talking about.

i prefer this bumper with the middle raised up like every1 mostly said. but still with i don't know the word for it but i would like the area of the lower fog light to be sharp like in this picture.

I think they need to be properly drafted up just to make sure everything you are envisioning comes to life before going into any initial molds. If you look at Luke's original RLM drawing, it's way cleaner/smoother than the actual production. I think with a proper drawing/blueprint it can come to life as good as the photoshops...
Not sure if bodykitz offers this type of finishing but as I said I have a guy who could pull it off. He may charge a small fee but the payoff would be worth it..
As for this drawing, I don't like the lines that extend up from the lower grill, keep it clean...
I also think the lower grill should be a bit lower from the top side. The cross bumper portion (below the stock grill) looks too skinny. Getting there though!!

Ok, some more revisals, first I took care of the droop, fixed the lip, and addressed Jay's concern about the part above the bottom vent. I also modified the skirts. While I was at it I though I would throw something new into the mix and integrated fogs into the side vents in place of the drls. Let me know what you think.

how does duraflex material sounds like? 
(working on it.)
and since looks like everyone has their own likes and dislikes, im going to go with a simple yet sporty design, not too out there not to in there, for those of you who like the little crests on the "camry" like bumper aswell as the round fogs, those can be made later and be adapted to this bumper, or at least thats the plan,
here is what im leaning towards. (I know its been posted before, but with the wheels and lowered it just looks soooo clean.
Lets do a list for this one..
