I really like the rear bumper.The front is a big bulgy for my tastes. I like it aside from the fog light setup, though.

Thanks all! And MinisterofDOOM what about the fogs bugs you? As for the bumper, the 6th gen got abused on mods when the G and Z came out. This is one of only 2 currently available (besides the Stillen lip) Pretty sad really, but there's more stuff in the works!!!

Nah man, it's not too big. This is coming from a guy who can't stand seeing the huuuge body kits on all these ricers that can't support their body kits with their engines! I honestly think it's only an inch or two lower than stock. It's very clean and classy. Love the way it sits, love the rear bumper too, don't change a thing, keep up the good work!

Just the way they protrude and don't quite flow with the rest.Keep in mind I'm pretty strongly conservative when it comes to auto styling. I prefer simple, clean, subtle, to the point.

But to me, the grille would be perfect if the fogs were recessed or at least more cleanly integrated. Square fogs would be best, IMO.As it is, the fogs sort of remind me of what a person looks like if they hook their fingers in the corners of their mouth and pull. The bulges of the fog "pods" combined with the overextended look they give the lower opening is the only part I don't like.

That small bit aside, though, the car looks fantastic.

Very good point, the bumper turned out a bit different than the original design and this was one of the issues! Good eye!
