dont get me wrong Mark/McNord it looks good just not my style.i want it to look a little more rounded like the actual DH one and not angled up in the front (yes i know you did that for a reason) i know you still gotta do the side skirts and that.

Go here...

http://gmmginc.net/programs/Harrell/

Check out pics 9, 10, 11, 15, 21, etc... You'll see the DH bumper angles up AND their car needs side skirts as well, lol.

If you don't angle up you will rip it off in driveways and on parking stops... All we did is match the factory lines (factory bumper angles up). Not our first rodeo lil'Mike but you'll learn as you go

I feel you, just wouldn't have been easier to buy Mike's DH style bumper, recess the grille on it and round it out...

^^Regardless, should look good. Weird thing is I had a dream about it while at SEMA, lol! Granted, it was while I was passed out and had just finished trashing the hotel room

The bumper was almost done and you had Jose at Bodywerkz doing it !!!

OP just continue what you're doing and don't let ppl get to you. 6LE is apparently taking this thread as a personal attack against his company, which is silly.

this bumper looks like it's going to look better than the 6le one, which imo is ugly, and doesn't flow with the body at all.
