G50 Recessed Bumpers

[Raxephon]

I was messing around with MSpaint the other day and construed this together.

Just want to get a few opinions on it from other Q45 owners.

(Not on my editing skills. I already know they're poor.)

The rear is nice, since it looks like the MB W124, which I love. Not fond of the front which resembles the snout-nosed new Audis.

id have to see how they look from the front and rear to decide how i like it...

My vote goes to, its "ehhh"

[Raxephon]

After seeing audtatious's chop job of the rear even I don't like it.

Guess I just won't be happy 'til I have an Impul President conversion sitting in the parking lot.

1st thing that comes to mind is a 300C. Not a bad thing IMO. I like it.

1st thing I thought of was the Y33 Cima bumpers, which are about 2" shorter each:

The front end looks like a Volvo S80 to me...

man that really looks like a benz from the side.....

[Ramshorn]

like the front don't care for the rear thxs for your creativity

[MinisterofDOOM]

Don't like it at all. Just doesn't fit...there's nothing "Q" about it.

Interesting idea though.

I think maybe if the rear valance continued down lower, it may work. But as it stands it makes the rear look very empty.

[AZhitman]

Eh, it's OK... Seems to need lowering to make it look right.

The Q's overhangs really aren't too bad - Certainly not Grand Marquis territory.

[DrewQ45]

Looks nice but if there was really a way to do it, I wouldn't substitute functionality for looks, especially when it comes to safety. Not to mention that the slightest fender bender would cau$e big damage. Nice chop job tho.

[Cathode]

I was gonna screw this pulyester, fiber, or whateva, and go to a hot rod shop. Have them make a metal roll pan ie what we use to call a bumper! That is only if I can't find a cheap m45

You might want to retain a little bit of overhang if you pursue something like this... the Q actually does look nice when the front and rear bumpers are shortened a bit... basically like their JDM counterparts with the smaller bumper cores. you can get a decent idea of how it'd look in real life by just taking the bumpers off, and stepping back and looking at the car from like 20'... it looks very "stout"

[Cathode]

I want one... I want one soo bad. I want one with out door handles, or side markers... Something bad will come of this.

[elwesso]

that is so 5 series like.
