be sure to paint your reinforcement bar black. it will probably be visible with your modification.

Great work, can't wait to see it finished. I would also leave off the fogs and the plastic fog mounts.

yes I have specific plans for that, have considered even getting a spare bird beak off an 09 and smoothing it down to match.

Cannot leave those off, that was my original plan based off AutoExes markieting pics, but there are actual impressesions in the bumper for those to snug into,,, it would be alot of work that Im not willing to do to correct that,,, I didnt go with the fog lights but rather the trim that doesnt have it and I also modified that too you'll see,,,

Im surprised how little of this bumper there is on the net, in terms of realistic point of view shots.. most are pro shoots.. from which its hard to get the gist of how it flows...some angles look stunning and sharp...others make it look blunt (due to the nose which I see you've fixed)
