I´m sure someone did close to the look im after, but thats not the point for this thread. I want to show how you can do this on your own and choose whatever design/mods you like, on any bodyparts at your car.
And for the wing you really cant choose so many different designs that looks good in my opinion, but for the rest of the bumper, i doubt you find it somewhere else when im done..
For me when i do something like this, i take my time and try to see the lines i want to have on my car, i started with the easy part (wing) but for the rest im not sure yet, i have two different ways to go both with the plate and the lower part. (the lower part probably gets a curved edge around, otherwise it looks a little flat.)
Thinking of taking the middle brakelight away, i think it could look cleaner that way.

I am enjoying this post and the talent you have you this, I don't think I would ever try it myself. One comment however, is you mentioned doing away with the middle brake light. I thought that was a federal mandate and if so would you not be looking for a legal problem?

If you only want the wing it might be better to just buy a used rear bumper and mold a wing onto it, just like quickz06 is doing on his thread. To do it like J/A requires a lot of hours and experience to get it right
