Is it just the front bumper or are you going to do all around too??
Something simple, classy yet sporty. I really like the SEMA, but that's because it is not too extreme but sporty too. Looks good though. Keep it up. How about some 3/4 views if you are going to do the whole way around?

The sides may be from versus if i can strike up a deal with them and save on the costs, I am currently working on the rear also. I am going to render these in 3d once i've settled on the design and photoedit them onto a CL photo. I'm so busy with deadlines that I'm just gonna wait till I get a break to do the 3d.

well i made a couple changes since i've always thought the pointiness of the front doesn't look so great, so i flattened out the front on the most recent version.... (I hope you don't mind RonJon)...

looks more like a 1st gen.
you would have to fabricate a new grill set up w/ that design.

This is what i see could be done... I just dont have more time right now... change the shape of the three lower grilles so they don't form a smiley face.......
rounded on the outside, and the rest of the slanted edges vertical (similar to M5)

you have to keep in mind that there are several mounting points that the new bumper cover will utilize as well as the actual bumper behind the cover. The grille would have to be modivied and the hood to change the style of the grille in the pic you did. all this things factor in the cost of the kit. it looks different, but I like the point on the CL, at least it's different from most cars on the rod, that subtle crease that runs through the center of the car. and the smiley face thing is just the way you see it, i see it differently, kinda like ther two faces and the vase image, just a matter of perspective.

I like the kit on page 4, it allows for a nice grille and it looks clean. its not to crazy. if i can get the $$ i will deff. buy a kit. im glad someone is actually trying to put a nice kit on the cl.
#142
I like the last one too, I am going to have to fly out to cali for a few conferences and get a heads up on all the manufacterers deals and costs. Basically go through all the legwork of getting the kit made and who will make it. It is def going to be urethane and it is going to be front and rear bumper replacements. as for the side skirts, i may have to use the versus sides to cut down costs on building new ones from scratch, besides, they look great. Once all that is cleared up, I will go ahead and finalize the design, and by then I will have a final design done considering the costs and materials included, like mesh and aluminum trim...

i have a question rondog.
would the kits be very low to the ground? the car is lowered, still on stock rims and i dont plan on messing up my kit because of the shit streets here in s.f. any word would be great..too bad you wont consider making a lip kit.

I like this one best. But I wonder if the lower grilles could be bigger vertically. But very nice job.

That's truly amazing. I really love the "M3" look too, it's one of my favorite things about the M series. I also like how you kept the sharp edges that continue through the whole piece.
#157
okay, i really like the one with the two holes in the corner. If you can make that with the bars - the bars being a second add on piece the way wings west has add on fangs for their aggressor bumper covers, I think that would be more realistic and gain the interest of a larger crowd. Lots of props with the designs (and the pictures!!)

I like every one of em rondog, and would buy any of them. PLEASE stay with it and produce these. I am definately in, and am trying to get one soon, so please hurry. I have a very bad scrape on my front bumper of about 6 inchs around of paint gone from snow that melted and froze over in march. I was gonna repaint but that would be a waste if your gonna drop this bad ass kit. Also I would love to see some pics of the back bumper, and side skirts if you decided on those yet. Again I say you are the man and keep it up.

rondog great job on the kit you are extremely talented you and I have the same vision of what the car should look like. I am glad you took the time out to create this kit I hope everything works out for you and your business and success, as for the kit I agree sides of the versus are great and I feel would compliment the front well. I would like to see what you have in mind for the rear though. From I see so far you have a buyer here definitely!!!!
