    Would look much better if you added tubes to the sides, similar too a hybrid bumper. As it is now it looks incomplete IMO.

    Function over form- It's good. Mounts a winch while also protecting. Gets your tires to the obstacle much easier. I'd like to see the winch tucked in as far as possible though.

    Aesthetically- No. Just no. You can't do this like you can with a Jeep and make it look good.

    It is a good start for sure, it just seems unfinished when looking at it. It needs something under the lights. Keep it going TW always need cool things to throw our money at.

    Fuck, you're right. That's even worse. Maybe try it out in the Bro thread then.

    I'll second (or whatever)

    Needs protection out the sides for the lights and other plastic pieces.

    Needs winch mount.

    I do like the minimalist look thought. Less is better IMO

    I like the bit you've done, but it does look unfinished. It needs something to go under the headlights to tie it all together

    Make one that goes flat and level under the headlights all the way across. Requires cutting the grill or including a custom grill.

    Can someone photos hop that? Like a 2nd gen Pelfrey or something?

    I wonder what it would look like with this unfinished bumper if i still had my stock bumper pieces that's located under my head lights. Sad to see that no one complimented on my shots :( aha

    Here's the complete version, how do you guys like this one :)

    I like it. Good job. Did you do the metal work and fabrication yourself? It's unique, and good looking.

    Mucho better! However, now to refine. Have you thought about the fog light cutouts? What about doing tubing instead of heavy blocked metal?

    This bumper is actually pretty light. It only weighs 65lbs but im sure it will shave a few more lbs if it was tubed!
