Holy **** that is nice. Wow. Well done. The larger emblem completes the look. This is the future. Just look at any of the newer mercedes, cadillac,etc. Big *** emblems come standard.

Count me in for the bumper.

Totally agree with rabbit. Look at how small any emblem from the early 90's was compared to now. With the automotive market bad in high competition again, automakers want others to know what you drive hence big names and emblems.

Updated list.

I’m actually thinking of selling these. I have been in contact with a company who makes fiberglass bumpers and it is completely possible to remake my bumper and diffuser. Question is, how many people would be interested? If there is an interest, I'd post this under a vendors thread and go from there. I'd just like a general idea so I can get started. If there are any up coming meets in the GTA, I'd be willing to come out and have you guys see the car up close.

I didn’t make any of these parts with the intent of reselling as I do like the exclusiveness so keeping that in mind, I may even only make a limited amount.

So here, not factoring in cost just yet, as it would be competitive to what other fiberglass bumpers go for as well as rear diffusers, tell me what you would be interested in. Please keep in mind, the front emblem and mesh will not be included. I can tell you that that alone cost me $100 once all said and done.

Thanks guys!

The diffuser looks sharp bro! Once you get these things going, I may be interested in one. I manage a collision shop, so I am fully aware of what goes into creating something like what you have here. You have my respect for your craftmanship.

I am interested in the front bumper but would it have any problems regarding air flow or the light output of the headlights? This front bumper seems further out, so it may block some of the light. Also if we have the stillen gen 3 intake would it be ok?

Btw if I do get this on my car I feel as though I have the prototype of the essence =]

No issues with light beam interference and no issues with air flow....opens it up a lot as you could imagine...no that doesn’t mean more HP. :P

Lastly, Stillen Gen 3 intakes should have no issues. This bumper was made using the regular bumper as a guide meaning that a foam sculpting sat on the original bumper them a mold was made from both to ensure proper fitment.

If you're still interested, copy the list and put your name down or just PM me.

Thanks again for all your comments guys!

PS. Been a busy week. I slightly redesigned the diffuser to add a better flow with the sides of the car. I’m sure you’ll like it much better. Pics up this weekend and...... Prices to come this weekend!!!

Very nice work! One suggestion, how about dealing with the emblem like this. Paint the mesh black, leave some stainless in the shape of the brand.

Been waiting for the result of this for a while.. I must say, you have a lot of skills, and would definitely be interested in one of these.

It would be great if there were a way to shorten the bumper a bit... I think this is everyone who likes this look's reserve as I know it is mine. Being lowered already it is tough to get in and out of places here in Chicago and I am sure most other places... adding length to the nose will definitely make it much harder. I am interested though. Especially if this is going to be limited and I would almost like to buy one and hold on to it for install later as long as they do not start leaning more towards this look with the new model.

Interesting... but this seems too rice. I think the current way it is, is the way to go. But of course, this is just IMO...
