new gtr bumper on my car!!!

Just got my car back from the shop and decided to install the gtr bumper on it. My first real mod...of course i gotta change that grille or modify it and gotta do so many more things to it to make it looks as bad *** as some of the maximas in this forum.. anyways here are some pictures of what the car looks like...

can somebody photoshop a grille into my car?

A mesh grille to match the lower grille would set it off.

Hard to tell with night shots, but I have to agree with you from these shots...

Before you got it painted, you should have had it worked on like jsmithsole did. None of the lines match the car like stormzusmc said, all the edges need to be sharpened. Look at jsmith's front bumper to see the difference.

Yeah, I had many hours of work put into my bumper before they painted it, added lines, deleted lines, evened it out. Lots of work...

It looks better when you have detail work done to aftermarket body parts to sharpen the lines and make them look more conformed to the car. I had my former jsmith RLM bumper worked on after I filled in the grill notch in the center of the bumper and it looks much better than my rougher work.
