Help me make my custom bumper

Figured I'd post here than my specific thread in the Nissan/Infiniti section to get more input. Currently looks like this...

It's cracked and too many G35's have them. Looking to do something a bit different so I'm going to fit a coupe bumper on my sedan. Pretty much narrowed it down to a certain style, question is single or dual projector fog lights?

This is gonna be sick. But honestly, I really like the way your bumper was.

Interior wise sets it off from others and costs 1/10 of what others pay to do a custom interior and from people at shows it attracts just as much attention.

Keep up the good work, your car has come a long way, can't wait to see more.

Voted again: Dual w/ bar - but I checked out the other options and I gotta say the Benz style bumper w/ dual foggs would get my vote. I like the way the bumper cutout mirrors the grill cutout (they start skinny and flare out away from each other) Illustration (well, almost LoL)

I'll probably end up doing the benz style in the future, just because it will require quite a bit of work. I might even go the route of getting a benz bumper and molding it on somehow.

Lol, yeah.

To be honest, I don't know what theirs looks like and I think it will cos more than what I plan to do, because regardless I have to paint it. I got the coupe kenstyle for stupidly cheap and it shouldn't cost that much for the bumper to be combined with my current one. Plus I think they're doing it more like the K2 (no fogs no bar) and it's nice and simple, would look good, but I want projector fogs.

To be completely honest, I wanted to do the Impul from the coupe, but Ttrank (tim) already did it, and the other bumpers on the coupe are too aggressive.

Dual with bar - Have you thought of the bar being painted black to match the grill?

Didn't think about that. Right now the grill is not black, it's back to OEM and hopefully i can find a paint like that when i go emblemless again. It's not quite chrome, not quite black, not quite silver. It's a mix. Got rid of the black to move away from the "sporty" look.

I don't think that would look that great on a sedan. WAY too aggressive. It's like lambo making a sedan with monster vents lol.

The dual with bar delete looks cleaner versus the one with the bar. At first the single with bar delete looked like the Kenstyle front.

I vote dual with the bar.

everyone else is gonna see this and go single or dual with no bar and then you'll have some Mr. Me Too's at the shows. so do the dual with the bar bc
most people want that open mouth and the bar imo looks like something you
would see on a factory luxury car as opposed to the open mouth.
