Roffle Waffle... are you referring to the overdone car, or my thoughts on the front bumper cover.... or both??

I like the mod. It's a bit more aggressive and it works aesthetically as the third in a diminishing series of lines starting with the hood, then the bumper, then the fangs. Nice to see it when you get it done.
Cheers.

The Hamann front is taking forever to arrive (over 6 weeks now). I'll post pics if and when it ever arrives (and after I get it altered and painted of course).

I decided against doing the original fang idea because it might not be enough. I'm doing a modified Hamann front instead.

no, just the overdone car. The front bumper looks like its from a different car, and the side skirts are from a THIRD car

What do you have planned for the Hamann bumper? I think it has potential

Well, in the image I included you can see the Hamann lights have been deleted. When and IF the bumper lid ever shows up I will have the lights deleted. Here is another pic I have photochopped. I really like the Hamann front without the added lights:

A freind of mine has that same front bumper cover and deleted the driving lights and turned them into functional brake cooling ducts. He purchased the carbon fiber brake backing plates from Turner Motorsports, some 3 inch flexible tubing and some stainless hose clamps and for under $300 and 2 hours of work he has a set-up that looks great and shows noticable improvement at track days.

Thanks! I am nearing on 2 months waiting for the Hamann front bumper cover to arrive. Good thing I am distracted by my new to me 2011 Xterra Pro-4x and Sunday episodes of Finding Bigfoot!

Hamann front bumper cover finally came in. Took 10 weeks. It's a masterpiece other than the added lights and headlight washer holes. I'll have all 4 areas deleted and post pics once I have it painted and added to the car. Just sitting in my house it's beautiful!

p.s. I'm also adding the aero side skirts at the same time. Those, along with my genuine CSL rims and KW V3 coilvers will look sweet!!!

p.p.s Euro cats also showed up today. Euro headers are sitting in the garage. I really have a LOT to do!!

Dropped the Hamann bumper off at my body shop. They said it was gonna be a LOT of work to delete the holes properly. I told them to make it happen. So in the end the bumper will be an expensive endeavor so it will surely be a one of a kind. I'm committed so we'll see how it ends up! I'm excited to present the final product in a few weeks.

I added the aero side skirts and the modded Hamann front. I like it a lot. These are just quick night pics. The bumper is not quite ready for me to add the grills and emblem but when I do I'll take better day pics.
