Default Front bumper mod

Hey guys, i was looking at some pics of our cars and I came up with an idea about modding the front bumper on a 92-96. A few minutes of photoshop and here is what i got.

just wanted to get some input and also see if anyone has ever attempted it.

thanks!

I've seen that style of "fog" lights which was actually an LED strip built on an aftermarket bumper/body kit. It's not very terrible but I wouldnt take the time to fabricate it for the stock bumper.

I think that is the same "over the top" kit I purchased my car with, plus the light bar (see pic in sig).
It has HUGE fog light holes not designed for anything I know of.
(I can't wait to get it back to stock)

Interesting. The new fog light could work with your design.

before
I have, see sig
I also did the highbeams just recently to see how it looks and for something new/different, Since i have a black car I used plasti-dip. Its just temporary tho and was just thinking of removing it today actually.

I think your photoshop came out pretty good and can be pulled off if you really like it, looks clean

Save the bumper to work on painting skills.
