Thumbs up for the DIY, you gotta respect someone who fabs up their own bodywork, well if you decide to make it a "2 off" let me know, a very nice look!

it's a little too late for that! I will however retain the stock bumper too, and substitute it if somthhing happens. As for the the air ducts they are similar to the factory ones just bigger.

In EU you will have to make it approve by TÜV

here are the pictures you guys have been waiting for. i'm posting them for cnoevo8 because the pictures were taken with my camera. i think the bumper came out beautifully. although everyone might not like it, you have to give cnoevo8 some respect for trying to do things a bit different . you've got to see it in person. it looks great!!!

Hmmm..... well it's differant, and I commend you for trying something different. It looks like you did a nice job on it, but It's personally not my cup o' tea. I wouldn't buy it, but to you for not settling on something your not happy with, and making something that you are happy with.

completed front end

Thanks justin! great camera work, you really got down! The bumper came out better than I thought it would, and I knew it would come out great. It looks mean as hell. It looks like it is going to eat the cars in front of it. The paint came out sweet and it looks killer with the APR splitter on it.

As you will notice, the headlights as well as the surroundings behind the bumper have been blacked out. If you look close it has the factory mesh around the grill and air inlets.
FYI I have left the center section with the original evo VIII triangle. I wanted it to look like an 8 not a 9.
I hope you like, but if not...I do
