Default new front bumper (opinions welcome)

Well, I have actually had this bumper for a while but i just put it back on my car after finally getting it repaired. I cracked it when i put my stock wheels back on, I didnt realize how low they made my car.

Sorry for the bad pics but it is raining and I used my blackberry.
The fit is really good, and i know it seems like the two pieces that meet up with the hood dont match, well they actually do. It just looks that way because of the lighting. Also I will be installing the new chrome trim along with my foglights and drrrrruuuuuuummmmrrrroooollllll, my _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ !!!!!!!!

This mod is in progress. Soon as RMMGS4 is ready. Cmon Glen I'm Waiting...

Sorry no other pics. I will have to wait for the rain to stop. But the rear bumper is veilside, jp 3pc spoiler, ugo roof spoiler, led lights with thin strip, and l-tuned side skirts.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I think it looks a lot better in person and will look a million times better when I install my fog lights, the chrome strip and the drum roll........... intercooler.
The bumper is actually a wise replica. (it is a replica of the bumper BLUELEX has on his car.) And his front end looks awesome. Unfortunately I couldnt find the real one.
And btw it is a 430

right now it looks unfinished, but i think like other said foglights will help and maybe something with the headlights.

This is the final look I'm going for. Just hard to make out all the lines of the bumper with my crappy blackberry camera and the bad weather
I hope bluelex doesn't mind me using his pic

Yeah the match is perfect, just the lighting makes it look weird. I think it might be a reflection of the brown building behind me.
I will take better pics with a digital camera this week.

Also will look better when I mount the intercooler. (if i ever get around to actually doing it)
