Not bad. I always lean to the original look.
Better ventilation?

I would not do that to mine, but to each his own. I think you will limit your buyer pool at resale time. If you like it don't worry about what others think.

Paint it then post the after pics. It certainly looks functional.

yes the original does have its charm, but I have always been the one to try different things and I wanted a bolder look for the bumper cover to balance the aggressive hood.

my next step is to get it painted and I think it will reveal itself a little better as being something people might like or dislike.

Hmmm. I like it, I think. Please post painted pics, when you can. Must help cooling.

I agree. Some will definitely move away from this concept and others will gravitate towards it.

I will start the painting process in the next few days and have it painted by end of the week and I will post pictures and then we can continue the conversation. I look forward to your honest thoughts.

I'd be interested in the aerodynamics...looks may be deceiving.

Looks awfully "busy" to me. It will probably look better after paint. It's your car, so what everybody else thinks shouldn't really matter.

It's not just the change in aerodynamics, it also adds cooling drag.

Unique choice for sure, I think it has potential. Love the creativity. How are you painting it? The grills and front lip going to be black with the rest color matched? Just the grills black with the lower lip color matched?

Once it's painted, I think it will look good with that hood and the Morimoto headlights.
It wouldn't work with a stock hood.
Will you paint the grills black or body color?
