OK so here is the last photoshop I did two weeks ago before I started work,,,
There are minor tweaks and Im glad I sat on the design for a while before building,,,
Youll notice that the main grill no longer bottoms out the same way it did in the previous version, it now retains that trademark 5 point design, essentially being a stretched version on the oe grill, also the points at which it stops on the side are more refined lining up with the point of the lower airdam,,,
will post pics in here of the build proccess soon, gotta make more headway first,,,,
and with no fogs,,,

I know right,,, Ive grown quit fond of that design, its so simple but still looks exotic, its just about distorting the proportions alittle,,,
I think I may have found a way to build both at the same time,,, we'll see if that works out,,,

keeping the side markers, Im interested in things that look oem but just tweaked,,,
too many bodykits out there are too lavish or exagerated for the cars they get put on, thats why I wanted something with the stock dimensions but had a slightly more aggressive look to it, something people can treat just like the factory bumper, by adding thier own lip spoiler, changing the sidemarkers, glassing over them themselves, etc etc,,,
