Its been a while since I posted on CL.. Figured I'd let you guys know I'm back at it again..

Although the my previous look was nice.. I decided to switch it up again. Bumper came in from Japan a few weeks ago. I'm well into this process but here are a couple of shots of the progress.

The front is from a Toyota Crown Athlete.









Not the finished product but its getting there.. Some changes to the bottom were made but I will update later with more pics.

I LOVE IT. I got an idea in my mind that I want to see what it would look like. Anyone have a good program to play with pictures, and overlap them?

I am looking at an Altima 2012 lower, and the grill from a gs sport morphed onto the sc. I have tried it with the camry sport and the lines don't seem to work for me.

Here are pics leading up to the final product...

I knew I was going to have to change up the lower part of the bumper because it didn't flow well. After a few different looks, this is what we came up with.


The rear bumper had some issues so I decided to have it resprayed and blended for a cleaner look.


Since I found a bumper with the grills, I decided to keep the fogs and not go the LED route. When the bumper arrived I really liked the fog area. I got super lucky and found the fogs in a yahoo japan auction.


I also had all the grills resprayed with a matte black for a more aggressive look.
After paint..

Since I dont have side markers anymore.. I decided run that harness to the fogs with some leds. HIDs are in there as well.. Here's the look with the parking lights on..




And lastly.. the final product.

I'd hit the photoshop forums up. Just post your picture there.

Boy, this is exactly the kind of modification to an already amazing automobile that I could get into. I am a very "bone stock" kind of guy, but this is perfection as far as I am concerned. Good on ya man.

Another fantastic job gottagitmines (what does that mean?).
I loved the last look, but this is so much more agressive and suits your car to perfection, love it.

Time to change you sig picture!

Best regards
Steve

Much appreciated.. Anytime an SC purist gives me the thumbs up, I will take it.

Thanks Steve.. That last look was really nice but after looking at it over and over again, I felt a more aggressive look was needed. I plan on updating my sig after my next shoot.
