I was thinking I almost like the stock grill with the new bumper as well. I was just waiting for everybody to say "time for a new grill" (Nismo did...)
Oh and for all that are wondering, they removed the cut out where the stock tooth is, and the grill still fits fine!!! (so it will work/look even better with an aftermarket grill)

jsmith, i like the fogs you chose, but I'm not feeling the blue lens. I would like clear lens (for my setup)...but we all have different tastes. so its all good bro and I'm sure it will look it too

edit: clarified my response.

Since I prefer a blacked out grill once installed on my ride, I will go with a dark colored fog setup (like the 05 Altima SE-R), I say let jsmithsole install his fogs (which I like) and base your individual taste on the total package...

I don't think they are that blue in person, at least I hope not.
The Piaa site says
"The L.E.D. Halo Ring emits
a white glowing ring around the Super White lamp,
similar in appearance to the headlamp of the BMW
5 Series sedans"

Available In Super White with White L.E.D. ring
Bulb Type H1 55w=100w Super White
Features Silver painted PPS housing with chrome plated aluminum trim ring

We shall see....

Thanks Corey!!! you were listening to my ideas. So the Mesh will look even better w/ no gap. And we can use the oem even if just waiting for the mesh. Once again, surpassing expectations.

Man, 240 for those fogs... I have 200+ PIAA Yellow Ion ones on the beater car; looks like they'll have a new home. If they don't match my current yellows, I'll try to swap bulbs to match the HID. So many possibilities.... Which is great since this will be THE 6th Gen Kit.

yeah, these 22 stunaz always be stealing da show. Call me a hater, so what. lol

the kit came with fogs b/c many thought the cornering lights were fogs (even some designers), and even more demanded lower fogs. Remember this began as a photoshop as what the 04 should have been. Now it's come to life. So yeah, hate on our 4 fogs! Funny how a bumper gets so many 5th genners out the closet and profess their 6th gen love.

Whiles it is a much better solution to the horrid stock front end, I still think the concept photo is much better:

The finished product's foglamp cutout seems to large and ruins the whole look.

The photoshop does look a bit different but the cutouts are the exact same size as the cornering lights, 4 inches. Maybe once a light gets put in there it will look less ruined to you?? But from going from photoshop to reality you would expect some changes, in my opinion it looks pretty darn close...

I'm actually really happy with the finished product of the bumper compared to the photoshop image I made a couple months ago. It is 95% of how I planned it to look when I designed it months back. Jsmith, I really appreciate your patience with this as I know you and everyone else including myself would like to see this completed and painted. The car looks amazing, and I hope to see everyone who has been posting in these update threads as well as all 6th gen Maxima owners purchase this product.

Thanks
Luke

Do I smell a royalty check in there somewhere!!! j/k

But seriously, I know how it feels to have something that you created come to life and then have people embrace it, it's very rewarding!!
GTR, again nice work on the design!!!

And as for my patience, no worries, just glad to take part in something that is so exciting for all the 6th gen crew!!

Very cool design. My advice to the buyers of this new bumper: keeep the stock grille. Try to find a lower valence grille that looks a little like the stock one, because the tooth looks cool now! That's how Nissan wanted the Maxima to look, I'm pretty sure.
