SKyline bumper my way!

This is my version of a proper skyline bumper. Tell me what you all think about it. Maybe when i'm ready to repaint the max I'll give it a whirl. Sure wouldn't hurt to try since 4th gen bumper skins go for like $50 bucks on ebay? Anyways, give me your opinions on how you think it looks. And maybe how you compare it to the standard skyline bumper. Thanks!!!

Looks better than a stock 95/96 but it doesnt really stand out like the Skyline bumper does.. which is good. We dont drive Skylines, neither does our car come close to one.

The bumper is actually from a 98 Max. As far as the Skyline thing go's I'm with you 100%. I'm not a big fan of the Skyline bumper, but thought this could be a better option for those running a front mount IC.

Keep in mind I haven't disassembled anything yet, so I'm still not sure if the bumper support will need to be modified some. If so that's nothing my plasma cutter can take care of....

Anyways, thanks for the responses guy's. Your answers is what i was hoping to hear

P.S. Did anyone even notice the super smooth body? (no door handles, no door moldings, no seperations between the grill & the hood, headlights look 1 piece, but not cefiero's, where the hell do I put gas in this thing?). Heck there isn't even a way to open the doors since all the lines are shaved. I wish the picture didn't come out so sh!tty looking after I uploaded it. It looks really good on my desktop, I need to figure out that damn cardomain page so my images stay cleaner looking.....

Thanks for the reply. Ya, I'm not too big on over hyping to smooth looks of the max. I leave all that craziness to the guy's on super tuner TV....

thanks, i think its looks 10 times better, a little cutting, a little sanding and the only hard part was making a grill for it, but the stuff i used is nice, wish i could show a better pic. the grill has a bunch of little holes in it, looks really nice.

It's "semi gloss" black. I figured no big deal since i made my corner lights the turn signals anyway. The bumper lights don't light up anymore. Well atleast not until I decide to buy some decent clears. Any that will only happen if I can find another set of factory fog's for a decent price$$$

Heres another variation I put on the skyline bumper. It's alittle more broken up then just having a big azz black opening in there.

No offense man, but I don't like it at all. I'd never put that on my car. But to each his own.
