Post your front end

So I'm in the process of converting my base c6 into something more attractive. So far, I plan to do zr-1 front fenders, Carvaggio rear fenders & rear bumper, and I'm still undecided on the hood and front bumper

Can you guys post your front bumper conversions? Obviously I don't need the standard z06 or zr-1, but anything "out of the ordinary" would be appreciated, as I really can't decide on a hood or bumper at this point

Thanks in advance

Impressive hood. I didn't know you can partially paint carbon fiber either. I really like the middle part of the hood being carbon and the left & right sides matching the rest of the car

I'm thinking about Caravaggio. They seem a little bit too "round" for me or something, I can't really put my finger on it. Maybe once I see some more posted I'll change my mind

How about putting a grill in it? From the factory it looks like grandpa without his false teeth in place.

Here is a bumper that isn't OEM. It's from SIC Motorsports but I'm not sure if they are still making them.

It's a front end out of Germany, Geiger Motorsports...I like the look of it and almost pulled the trigger on using it until I got a great deal on a CF ZR1 front end...
IMO, it looks diferent and gets more air into the motor/radiator...A company out of Florida is selling them...I'm sure a ton of people won't like it, but I think it;s cool...
Heres a couple more pics...
