Default one of a kind bumper

i was lucky enough to get my hands on this one of a kind bumper. I'm in love with it. Looks really clean over the stock bumper, and pretty aggressive too.
What do you guys think? (it came off the mms421 concept)

I LOVE it. Yeah, that is a very good idea about making a mold of it. I would definitely want to preserve it. If you do get a mold made, let me know, I'll split the cost with you, since I want one of these for my Formula when I buy it. Let me know.

I like it because it is different than any other front nose out there!

You wouldn't happen to know where there might be one more out there, do you?

What do you guys think? (it came off the mms421 concept)
So did they dismantle the mms421 car?

I think it would look better without the big grill openings, ...
Clean looking everywhere else but the grills, ...
Someone photoshop that front view & leave the driving lights, just smooth out the rest of it.

Thanks everyone for the comments...

yeah the mms 421 concept was dismantled. i got the bumper, and matching headlights (since the headlights had to be modified for this bumper) and the sideskirts, but he didnt give me the spoiler. but thats ok cuz i wasnt too fond of the spoiler anyways.

Robert Barth at Strictly Performance her in So Cal, who is the guy that hooked me up with the mms 421 dude, also suggested that i make a mold
of it. I'm definitely going to have to look into that. I'll get back to you guys
on that if ur interested in getting one.

oh and sorry titus2669 for stealing your bumper!
