    Smooth Bumper

    I'm toying with the idea of a smooth front bumper, removing the front indicators and dummy fogs and fiberglassing the hole up. Ideally i'd like to also take care of the number plate recess and run the plate on the side(like a Mazda rx-8 etc.) I would then relocate my indicators to the headlights(park light spot) or put them in the lower openings of the bumper which will remain unfilled. Firstly, I'm concerned that a consistant finish wont be able to be acheived and I may have problems with the bumper 'skin'. I'm also concerned about the groove that runs the length of the bumper, ideally i'd like to keep it but that means I would have to add the groove to the middle section where the plate is currently. I've attached a few pics of my car, so please give me your opinions. Anyone who's handy with photoshop is welcome to have a crack too.

    Cheers

    now thats what i'm talking about, thanks KI11Z! I also noticed you happened to dump my car on coils, this hurts as I just lowered it on Eibachs. I like the the pshop photo so much better. I think making that low really adds to the bumper effect. Sweet..
