I see that lol
Paint it ***** pink and i still think it doesn't look good as the original bumper. To many lines, reminds me of the early 90's when people bought aftermarket front bumpers for their car without getting the whole kit, Just sticks outs to much, and what bumper lights are those?
Good work for sure but bad design,

Damn I feel bad one post with pictures and hes getting bashed in his own build thread. Not my cup of tea, I personally would have just thrown a matching front lip and called it a day with the body, but good luck with the build.

What's wrong with 17's? Tire selection is extremely limited in 15" and 16" sizes.

Not a fan of the bumper either, looks VIP style to me.
What wheels have you got? what's your overall plan?

I can respect that looks are in the beholder's eye, however please reserve judgement until I have it painted. The design comes out when contrasting shades can separate the different styling cues of the bumper. I do agree that when the bumper is all one color, the horizontal lines do blend in.

The bumper lights are off of a Mercedes S65 AMG.

What is VIP style? Something that looks "clean"? I bought the car as a toy so I have no limits as far as what I'll do with it. I wanted to create my own quality aero parts (I have a few more items being prototyped). Again, style is subjective, but it only aids the consumer when there is one more product on the market... and besides, when is the last time someone created something new for such an old car?

I plan on taking it to the track very often so it will be set up as intended.

I am actually building two sets of wheels right now for the Integra. I had over 50 sets on my previous car.

Luxury cars I guess, just google "VIP Japanese Cars" to get an idea.
I preferred the stock bumper as it was simple. The new one just appears cluttered and busy with the lines, to me.

I'll be patient and see where you're heading with the front bumper before I make any personal opinion about it. As it stands, I'm skeptical, but interested. Most performance themed bumpers don't have so much restriction in their design (those openings on the front bumper could be either closed off completely or opened up to funnel air to appropriate areas). And bumper lights from a Mercedes are something more for decoration then performance.

It is actually designed as a street bumper, which I'll be modifying for use on my car.

Regardless, I'm amazed that some people on here are so close minded when it comes to car modifications. One thing that they don't like and they call the entire car a "fail".

If anything, you're just restricting airflow to the radiator/ possible intercooler. If it was that ugly but had a purpose, I could understand. Function>Form

The opening is actually the same size, if not slightly larger than the OEM bumper. Again, you guys have only seen one picture of it so reserve judgement. This build is obviously still IN PROGRESS.

Is $300 a lot of money? Because you'd probably cringe at how much it cost to build this bumper.
