i know that i've ragged on Mark (6LE) in the past about CME off ebay and that whole thing (which is irrelevant) but you guys get on my nerves. You ask him to make a product that resembles something and when he does, SOME of you complain and say "well you should make this product instead and then I'd buy it." You're never going to buy anything, and all you do is complain. Mark, sorry for the words in the past, if I wasnt a broke, poor college student I would DEFINITELY buy your front and rear bumpers! Good work bro!

IMO, it would look better if the bottom of the front lip would kinda of roll back towards the car. It looks like it just drops straight down instead of rolling back under the car like the factory bumpers do.

Looks a hell of a lot better with the grill!

Now Mark, start drying that car, how else do you expect to get swirl marks in your clearcoat? They aren't just going to appear on their own!

That looks great but i think that car would look a lot more aggressive with a nice set of deep dish wheels! The rear bumper would be nice as a dual valance, i'm sorry i really hate seeing the pipes on the center mounts!

That looks wicked. Better than I thought it would - probably helps that it is painted and everything.

But you really really need some side skirts on the rockers now. I'm not usually a fan of side skirts but you need something to make the rockers a little more angular to match the bumpers.

Looks badass with the black grille.

Ditch those foglights and add an old-school blue Chevy bowtie.

Not feeling the flat bottom/straight sides on the bumpers. Like someone else mentioned, you'll need the side groundfx's to complete the look. Just looks odd right now, maybe it'll grow on me but for now. Those are my only problems, other then that. I really like the styles of both bumpers.

Think you could get any shots from the side? Im in the market for a new front and rear bumper, kinda wondering how it flows without side skirts. Any plans to make the rear with dual outlets instead of the CME or anything?

Yea i read it, just agreeing with what someone else said. It really needs the groundfx's to tie it all in together. I just dont like groundfx's on these cars though, so not sure if ill even like it at all with the groundfx's on there.

From what I understand, these won't hang way down or look gaudy or anything, they'll just "square up" the rockers to flow with the more angular shape of the bumpers.

Mark, correct me if I'm wrong.
