Would you buy this?
ONEighty's recent concept design. A totally new front bumper for G37 Coupes/Convertibles. Personally, I'm totally in love with the way it looks and also am really interested in getting one. What are your thoughts and opinions of this front bumper? And would you get one?

it looks too similar to the 1M for my taste. I like the styling of the middle vent, the way it wraps around is very clean. However, it is definitely a copy IMO of BMW's design team. That whole curved middle vent just screams M series to me. Good idea, and it looks like great fitment, but not for me.
I'd rather them do a copy of the IPL with their own styling.. Oneighty prides themselves in custom work, and I'm a true fan of the creativity and attention to detail they put for their work.. They don't need to be doing copies of other designers.

Yep - BMW M bumper is exactly what I thought with a hint of hyundai with the side creases.
Is it just me or does it appear that the bumpers dont match? Looks like on the white one, the lower-middle grill sides flow up and into the bumper with subtle small creases. The orange one appears smooth...
Maybe it is the model... and I am too distracted.

BMW bumpers are for BMWs... It is a great look (not the best look for the lines of the G though) but one that is simply a direct copy of another cars design.
It actually dissappoints me more than anything as there is such an opportunity for a company like 180 to come up with something original and actually sell a lot of them if they got it right as there are so few options for the G that people would jump on something that is not just another TS Replica or Aero front (again, if it were done right).
180, if you are reading this... something as simple as changing the large middle vent from a larger bottom to a larger top (more consistant with the original lines of the G) would prolly be all you need to do to profit much more on the sale of these bumpers and have your very own original design and not simply copy the most tell-tail sign of a Bimmer bumper... Just a thought... (please take it into consideration!!!)
