What do you think about this style bumper for a 4th Gen ?

I know one of those way out there threads, but I have the sarona rear and just looking around at some way to come up with something new for a rear bumper. Just getting to the point where i hate the sarona rear bumper lol !

Wanted some opinions on the looks of this Ford bumper style and if anyone thinks this would look pretty good on an A32?

Any photochoppers out there ? Maybe put it on the rear of a black Maxima.


Car: 06 or 07 Ford FPV GT-P

This car has as similar body style I think so it just might work. Anyways thoughts and opinions, and hey be honest, dont care if you hate it or love it, just wanted some honest opinions ?

thanks

I think the bumper would look ok on the A32. I would like to see the side valances a little higher (around the level of the diffuser if you know what i mean).

I think it looks nice, but I haven't seen anything out for the maxima that looks like that.

looks different... what are you going to do about the rear crash bar?
I think it sits basically right about where that mesh would be.

true, even considering cost to have this thing made would be to expensive, only good thing to me about the sarona is this one is fiberglass, and weighs around 17-19 lbs.

i checked up on a stock bumper for a 97 on ebay, it was cheap as, but the guy said it weighed 50 lbs ? seems way to heavy, just cant remember how heavy the stock bumper was.

yeah that car is sweet, dont see those in the states, big horsepower but it weighs over 4000 lbs. man thats a load !

I've toyed with the idea of putting the GT-P bonnet onto my SMX, like the power bulge bonnet. Sure it can be done but you'll probably get stuff thrown at you by all the Ford boys down in Palmy, Levin, Otaki and Masterton - and you know there are heaps down there.

MMMM...GT-P...nice...win BIG WEDNESDAY CC.

if you can make it flow with the rest of the car i think itd look pretty good. If there was one made and it looked that good, I'd get it. ive always like that style rear bumper, minus those 4 hole things.

it would look pretty cool if done right. especially if it was designed to help the air flow under the car through that mesh
