Update on: I went crazy, now theres holes in my bumper!!!

Guys, I have way to much time on my hands. So with my original bumper that I had damaged along time ago, I began to just mess with it and I made what you see in the pictures. My idea to make it was that, I was going to get the injen CAI and be nice to get more air in there. Then as I began molding the fiberglass resin, then sanding things down, that theres no way that this will be any more functional then just raming air through the front of the bumper. So now I guess its just there for looks. But I like it. I have the mesh, so I'll have to make them for the two new holes, and the lower grill, and for the autoexe grill. Also since I just lost my amber lights, I may add a rectangular version in the inside that can still be reflective at night but not be seen during the day.

Well this is still in a work in progress, and I've been doing this for the last 4 weeks, and I'm welcome to some ideas. I'm looking to get it painted by X-mas and have my CAI by then also (for sure!).

So here are the day time pix...damn thing looks really good with the autoexe lip, I'll probably mold that on to the bumper.

daytime pics..but i think it'll look good if your car was lowered.
I'll get some day time ones, and yup I sure need to be lowered. But I can't lower because of my lip, it'll drag on my drive way. So once I think I'm done modifying the bumper and get it painted, then I'll be able to lower the car with the tein coilcovers.
 
Check back up at the first post for the day time pictures. But that was taken like a week ago. The bumper now is primered black, and I'm going to start on fitting the mesh on Friday, depending on Batmobile when we are going to do the headlight overlays. And I'm getting my MSP 3.0 Rims Saturday, YEAH!!!

Now I just need that second job for my turbo/supercharger ;)

Can you guys tell that this bumper, was all messed up on the driver side. I mean it was all dented up. But a good hot day and a hammer helps out on shapping the plastic, and some fiberglass resin helps a lot too. The headlight area was all smashed in, damn to bad I don't have pix of what it used to look like.
