Default 1st 2IS+3IS+4GS bumper conversion with a twist

Final

results







PICTURE UPDATE PAGE 2

It's been a while CL. I parted ways with my 4GS bumper a few months back due to a minor hit and run. I always liked the grill of the 3IS but hated the fog/ vent area of it. That area of the 4GS always seemed more aggressive for me so I decided that this was the look I wanted in a bumper. And especially when everyone and their moms has a 3IS bumper conversion now, this was the only way to stand out

As you can see the grill from the 3IS + the fog area of the 4GS with a little flare around the top area similar to the 5 axis 4GS . The splitter piece sitting there will be molded out and shaped accordingly to fit the bumper. Stay tuned.

I had it powder coated transparent copper. Pretty cool bc it looks different in every light. Pics and videos don't do it justice but I'll get something up later today.

I recommend reshaping the splitter to be more contoured to the bumper. Otherwise it'll look like pancake spatulas on each side.

With that said, can't wait to see this come together.

I'm only molding out the side portions of it, I actually like how the front of it looks which is why I picked this particular one, some might like it some wont but that goes with every build
