I am getting this Porsche vibe.
Not sure how I feel about it yet, one side of me likes the idea of the side vents for cooling but my style side questions if it really flows.

looks like a lambo now, bleh

The nose is too long on the Nismo bumper...

fix the lip and i think the vents will work a lot better - and you are obviously going to have to make your sides much more aggressive to pull that off - the rear is probably fine :)

functional and looks good. Go for it.

smaller more directional vents. Looks good though.

Yea, I really like that

you've been staring at lambos again, haven't you :icon14:

I like the idea. the front end is a big reason why I woul never get a nismo. Maybe make the vents half the size but keep the on the edge of the bumper like it is.

Or you could just buy the stillen front bumper.

PS the fangs are modular.

I must say, I really am a big fan of that fascia, if it shipped as one piece, i'd probably have bought it already, but considering it has to be glued together, primered and painted, that bumper alone will set you back a grand.

Love it!

That looks fantastic!

+1 rep

Jizz.. in my pants.

Perfect.

Amazing! You are a fabulous designer :tup:

lol not bad

agree to disagree.

We'll have none of that here. By God, if you don't like something you'll beat mercilessly on those who do.

I think it flows nice it reminds me of my friend Greg Tariff's customed celica :)

It may at least keep you out of turn #3... brake cooling FTW!

Looks like win

sorry, but the nismo nose is exactly why i don't like the nismo. the nismo nose makes it look too non-aggressive like the 350z nose. IMHO :rolleyes:

You could just get vinyl that looks like the vents you've mocked up.

:iagree:

That works. Looks good.

Thats pretty sweet!

Thanks for all the complements guys. I am debating on actually doing this since I am working with Zele on a full sponsorship we will see. :tup:

agree, first thing i thought was lambo

And smaller air ducts...

It's too busy....

What are you smoking!

By the way for those asking for smaller ducts on the front the smaller ducts do not flow and look out of place on the nismo bumper. I can not do anything about the lip either since it is OEM. This rendering was simply an idea to apply to a stock nismo front bumper. Does it have a little Lambo flavor? Maybe... but that was not a design that I had taken in mind.


For those of you who do not design and/or understand my designs. Here is a little insight in why my designs look the way they do. I take the existing designs of a product aka: nismo 370z and I follow those natural designs and lines of the car to help come up with alternative designs. Some will like these designs others will not. If you dont like my design... I ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO ONE BETTER THAN MINE AND POST IT UP.


Too many people on this forum have gotten to the point where they criticize on the grounds of their opinions with out being constructive. I would like you people to try and do what us photo choppers do and create a design. I am by no means an artist nor will I ever call myself one. I do however have a talent to photoshop with the best of them. so please use this forum to post up your own nismo bumper designs and maybe someone who has the guts will try your design :tup:

Challenge accepted!

I don't know how to do all of that cool shading and gradient stuff, but here is my depiction of a better design. Note the smaller vents, but longer cuts and an opening that narrows somewhat as it goes towards the outer edge. Very functional and super sexy at the same time!

Bored at work, so I did this using Powerpoint (the true sign of a corporate/office world sellout):

Not sure if that was the look you were going for so I only did one side.

I also did this for funsies:

Powerpoint?! For shame, sir! MS Paint FTW!

I see now that my penises do look like the 'evil doer' mustache. But, alas, they were merely meant to be penises.

This is somewhat personal, and I've never told anybody, but I was involved in a vicious MS Paint accident once, back in my more youthful days. So traumatic that I was scarred for life, so now I can no longer use it :(

As for penises and mustaches, you know what they say about a guy with a large mustache...

Does this scare you?!

Sorry. I could not resist. I will share the Xanax if I have given you a panic attack.

I'm just gonna go out on a limb here and say that that looks like an outline of a penis.

Winner!
