WOW what a difference from the stock looking front. I love it!!! I was looking at the front of my car the other day and yeah, those bumper intents along the length of the bumper under the headlights stick out like a sore thumb at times. Very very sweet, I might have to look into that myself also..... NICE! B)

How about a grille( or grille delete) glassed into the bumper that continues the flow of the hood? :unsure:
Kinda like the one on the wide body kit!?!
I don't know much about fibreglass, but would that be a possability? I know i'd get one if it was!! B) B)

Yeah you could do that, but then your seriously restricting air flow to cool down the ehgine though...arent ya?? :unsure:

I would just do it like in the picture. Those wide body focus kits, we all seen the pics of them, don't get a good feedback among focus owners. I still think that wide body kit is the ugliest s**t I have ever seen on a focus.
It would probably restrict airflow, who knows though, if done properly, might look pretty cool also..... photoshop anyone?

Just checked with dood on FJ....That pic is all done with fiberglass, and he hasnt had any problems with it.
Then again, hes in the states, so probably somewhere nice and warm :rolleyes: :lol:
