A few guys have tried something like this through the years. Some pull it off, some cant. I really think it all depends on how the rest of the car looks (lots of mods vs mostly stock).

IMO the bottom row is a hit or miss kinda thing. The middle row looks ok but would look better if the texture was slightly darker, perhaps. As for the bottom row, I think it would look better if it was aligned with the angle of those 2 vertical "columns".

Might work if you did the entire bottom half of the bumper.

Can you take a picture that doesn't look like it was taken in the 1930's?
