Question Thoughts on these custom bumpers?

I'd like to get a variety of ideas from different people. I have a 35 sedan (1st gen) and as most of you know there aren't many options for a front bumper. My rookie bumper got cracked and I want to change it up and be different. I've narrowed it down to having my own Kenstyle being made, question is, dual or single fog light projectors?

Also trying to keep it goin with the VIP look, nothing too aggressive looking. Here's a few pics of the car to get a better idea.








Onto the bumper ideas.

Single w/bar delete


Single w/bar


Dual w/bar delete


Dual w/bar


Final results (minus paint and fog lights):

Lol, that's just for shows. I've risked it enough by escaping a DUI by 0.02, I was physically fine, but BAC according the law was almost not fine, not going to argue with the law but next time I'll wait a lil longer. Anyhow, yes, it is a stripper pole.

Fun.... btw. Limos have tints not curtains FYI. I guess you're unfamiliar with VIP style cars, because many of them have curtains. Another FYI, the Maybach has em as well so if you wanna play the "rice" card I guess the Maybach is rice as well. Nonetheless, they serve a good purpose. Privacy. I use it to drink with friends inside the car before the club (saves money) or when I want to undress a girl and have a quickie. It's also a show car and it does what it needs, attracts people, especially the models.

Just fine, toe is dead on, just flip the tires when they wear out and I have practically brand new tires. My next set of tires I'll finally figure out which tire to stick with. My first set were 225/35's with a Hankook Ventus, didnt check tire pressure and it deflated (tire and rims were still good) and my 2nd set I went with Hankook 235/35's and I needed to do more fender work (rubbed to the point where I would get stuck). Next one's I'll probably go with Generals in a 225/35 since it will be less of a stretch than the Hankook 225/35 and more than the 235/35.

^^^

Trying to change it up. Too many lookalike's especially at shows and not many options either. I had Mercedes SL look as well, basically the middle looked more like this:



Probably would have made the side vents wider as well.

Seems like majority of the Z folks prefer the single fog with no bar. More consistent than the other forums I've posted on lol. Thanks for the input fellas.

this one is the cleanest looking so I gotta say it would fit your VIP theme better than the rest.





hey by the way I'm wondering if you're worried at all about rust starting to creep up on your rear fenders as there's a lot of paint chipped off.
As a temporary solution you could just use either clear silicone for sealant, or grab a paint pen from the dealership

I'd agree

I'd also ditch the windshield banner - it takes away from an otherwise very clean car

Not too worried, but I'm starting to, because I thought I'd get work done sooner. Hopefully tomorrow I'll find out on the cost. Thanks for the tip on the silicone. I've tried getting the paint pen from the dealership and supposedly they don't sell it it anymore...its more like a felt tip marker now and that one sucks.

Which one? I have a Jagermeister one on the bottom.

Reason for the Team OCGs one is for shows, so gotta keep the team one there.

I had some on the side windows and that actually gave it a more sporty look, removed them and it looked much cleaner....got a VIPstylecars.com sticker in chrome there and its big so kinda flows better. I actually have to throw on some sponsor stickers once show season comes up...that's gonna suck

I'll prob remove the Jager one, but gonna put my company's name up there (since I'm selling aftermarket parts).
