I would consider purchasing the following two:
(1) Larger ducts 09 shaped center grill profile without 'beak'
(2) Need a big hole for that FMIC
Lets see if these make me opt out of purchasing feed before the year ends. Good Luck w/designs!!
Uhh, what happens if someone wanted to see ur designs in a diff color?

i like this one... i would move the oil cooler ducts lower. I would have the upper portion of the oil cooler match match that of the main radiator duct. It will also cut down the the amount of material below the oil cooler duct. I agree with what was said before about having the same insert as the mazdaspeed to hide the bumper bar.

I really really like how the lower lip extends down into the air damn at the bottom. The look is much more refreshing than the 2009 front bumper. Heck, if the 2009's had this front bumper, I bet you it would have improved sales.
"I would buy this front bumper in a heart beat."
Nicely done!
Cheers!

Thanks for your input Mikko, however the whole premise of the bumper is to allow the owner the option of a chin spoiler so chopping it would defeat the purpose. Also your revision looks far too simular to the FEED bumper...
Here is the closest to your criticisms and keeping the overall ground rules I have for myself,,,

my bumper
I think this should be considered. I took and added a lil from a couple of pics. gibing the scoop across the top above the fog lights. then I took the grill with the squared off look and dropped it down with a lil swoop to give the grill a larger meaner look (trying to avoid the smiley face look) this also would give more breathing room. my editing wasn't perfect but you get the idea.
above fog light swoop, lowered grill lip.
