08 Gangster Body Kit under production!
And hopefully that's the final piece in that project.
You know, a while back when I first read this thread this was one of the modifications I was going to pursue. But now my list has grown and has become very expensive.
What I need is a government bailout.

Steve wanted me to share these photos with you all.
We are showing the beginning to the end...that the initial pictures are where we started and continued to hone down the foam to the right shape and size. The final product results in a bumper that is 7.5 inches longer than stock at its bottom center of the outer bumpers. The middle section is just merely three inches past stock. The initial pictures were 18 inches. The final bumper will be revealed late next week as the fiberglassed part has significant detail not yet on these foam shapings.
Rendering being used to make this bumper.

















This is a work in progress, the two sides are not 100% equal, the final bumper will combine the best of each side and have more detail. Also keep in mind we are tweaking the side skirts and bringing them up a little so they are not as low and will flow with the rear bumper.

Should I keep my car for many years like I plan, I might plan on integrating this concept on my box. Hopefully once production is completed and a good price is out, I might invest in it. But I love it. I think it looks awesome. I have a Classic Silver Metallic box, so I'm not sure how well it'll look silver. I think, in order to maintain the integrity of the gangster look, it has to be black.
It will look good in any color and keep in mind the prices may be a little more than others out there but they are designed to be paint and put on rather than spend the money for 30 hours of body work.
Oh that is way cool! It looks really good, but I feel like it's missing something. I think reflectors on each side of the bumper would bring it out some more. But that's if and only if.
Other than that, it looks really great. I'm excited for the front end now!

There are no lights in the bumper to allow everyone the opportunity to install there own ideas.
