07 sport lip, opinions

Lately it seems that a lot of 6.5 genners are searching for a little help on the front end,
this is what I have in mind, this time though deposits will be needed to give this project the go ahead, something like 100 non refundable and final product should be in the $250 range.

Opinions

this is what I have in mind, something simple but yet effective
keep in mind this are the first shops I do for this car, (kind of crude) they are just to give you and idea of what im looking for.

When I first saw the front of the 04-06, the first thing I said was that it looked like a big moving smiley face... It needs an entire bumper.

When I first saw the front of the 07-08 the first thing i said was that it needed was just a front lip and it would be perfect.

I like the direction your going so far with this. Subtle, but makes a big difference.

thats what im talking about, got to remember that this are the first concepts, so it might change a bit, I'll say if people keep giving their opinions on what they want and what they don't we should have a final concept picture within two weeks.

PS And I could never see the sailboat in those pictures at the mall lmao.

the difference i see is right under the fog lights, the first pic lip(opening) is at an angle below the fogs, and 2nd pic straight down.

and here is the lexus lip, to me it does not flow well with the lines of the max.

personally, I like the lips that don't stick out, but I'll make what ever you guys want, as long as I can get enough initial orders

The only problem with this is that for people with lowered cars will be affected. The 07 front end is nearly flawless all it needs is a simple lip to give it an aerodynamic look. These both lips will hit during dips and speed bumps...just my 2 cents..

This one honestly looks better...the part that sticks out on both sides, try to add small slots to it and i think it will come out clean...The other lip is just a little too much. The front bumper looks aggressive already cant over due it...ill look for more ideas because i am very interested...

#2 vs #3 They almost look like the same grill from different angles. Very close to each other. Maybe loose the last little flare on #3 as it turns the corner and joins up with the top line. I like these the best.

I like the second one from your original pics. I don't like how the line sweeps upward in the T-Rex pic you have though. How about a clean straight line going all the way around, with the the bottom sticking out forward like an actual lip...

i still like this one th emost.... i personally think this is all the bumper needs. i dont thing the bumper needs anymore holes in it. i think some solid lip will look the best.
