I've been reading around about this for a while now. Im planning on doing something like that when school is finished. Everyday during the drive home I'm always looking at cars and potential bumpers/fog lights that will look good with our cars. I think one of the Liberty VIP guys molded an ES350 bumper. Read on another thread someone was planning on putting a Mercedes bumper with a kazz grille

We should start suggestions and photoshops lol.

I love bumper conversions and I think that will be the next big thing for 2013. Who needs a body kit when you can creat your own spin off.

Dam you handoverfi! makes me want to tackle this too, but I have other priority. Good luck with the conversion.

This reminds me of a shop maybe 12 years ago that use to fix and fuse stock bumper back together in Los Angles, CA. I always thought that it will never catch on since ugly fiberglass body kit was in. Wish i had gotten to know the owner. His pointer and skill would have helped right about now.
