That is a good idea, to start the slope earlier to allow for a front license plate. I live in NJ, where a front plate is required 
, but I have no intention of putting one on such a great looking fascia

You should be working on the C6 rear. I think it could use your help.

You and Neablas both deserve compliments. Neablas did a great job coming up with the basic design of the fascia, but if it wasn't for you, this idea would have died a long time ago.
In a previous post, you said that there are 8-10 people interested at this point. Are you going to move forward with fiberglass, or hold out for urethane? I'm still in for either. Oh, and ttt.

yep.
I create ideas, i'm not all that great for turning the ideas into final products. If it weren't for you paras, this wouldn't even be a possibility.
... and i suppose i could take a crack at the c6 bumper.
ok .. 'nother photoshop. hey paras, wanna start a c6 thread?

A choice between the 2 - I like Paras' better.
However...
It would be much easier if there were better pictures/renderings/wireframes/whatever from all different angles in order to formulate a solid opinion.
I do love the cut-back side view of the nose in Paras' rendering (see pix). It's the one thing I do not like about the stock C5. I always thought the C5 should have the ACI chin spoiler (or similar) from the factory to complete the side view of the nose.
As a result, if the question was would I buy either of these front fascias, the answer would be "No". There is not enough information here to make a decision, informed or otherwise.

EG, we still do need better pictures (at least one picture of the full front) but can you please list the information that you think is necessary to make an informed decision? And did you like the chop I did of the back (the picture under the one that you copied in your post? (It was shortened a little.)

No I like the big butt of the C5 and everything else except the SIDE view of the nose. The front view of the nose is fine, it's just the side I do not like. I was thinking of going with a ACI chin spoiler (like Stuzvette) just for that reason.
I'm looking for pictures/rendering/whatever in 3/4 view of the whole car and from all different angles. You have one shot of half the car at a 45 degree angle in one colour - and ask for opinions on a new front fascia. I understand that you are protecting you IP, but at the same time...... you see my point, I hope.
Pix like this, for example

Yup, see your point. More pictures are definitely needed. I'll also repost details like price, features, and other details that people might want (e.g. the fact that it will mount in the same locations as the factory bumper, etc.)

please do, it looks fantastic!
