I'd have to be the first one to say EWW!

M3 bumper belongs on a legitimate M3, not even on a regular 3 series..

I like it dan. Knowing you, you would cut the opening and shorten the big mouth of it. But it flows with it pretty well i think. I can't wait to see your car finished man.

thats mainly the scaling mistakes in the photoshop...although in reality it should sit about 1"-2" off the ground once completed

Dont think it looks right. Id say just make a nice custom lip, will be less work and look much better. Honestly dont want to be rude, but are you going to really try and custom fit a m3 bumper when u had the hardist time fitting on a supra front?

supra bumpers arn't hard to fit...it was about 60% fitted after 3 hours of work....i just had 0 desire with that setup to proceed any further and waste more time and money...

but like i've already stated this isn't a set in stone plan

Gotcha.

I tihnk it would be dif. But not worth doing imho. Id say buy a 404 frontlip, and custom fit and mold that, Also with reworking some curves. That would give you a nice base to start front and imo would give that extra umph it would need with out taking away from what your going with the curren front end.

yes but i really can't use the bottom half of hte curren OEM bumper as it has a built in license plate gap...having to fill that would sux so i'll be fabricating a bumper no matter what...even if its just a copy of the oem changed...and if i go for a lip i'll be buying the VARIS curren lip....404 is just crap that everyone else has...plus it just don't look good TO ME...
although i do have to say doug it did pull off well on your car..(btw do you still have your 2 side windows in the back? )

so its either Varis lip, custom ****, M3, or C-one
but that is still left to be determined
