Front Lips/Bumpers

I know there aren't a whole lot of companies out there that make very many styles of either of these, but I would like to see some pics of what you have.

I'm actually interested to see as well, I love the look of some of the aftermarket front ends. Especially the ones with fog lights, I think there's one from Mazdatrix on the widebody with them...

I'm going to be getting IMSA widebody soon. Can't wait. This is the front end on it. This is one badass car, in all it's incarnations.

OR

I like the look of most of these bodykits.
I'm not a real fan of the wide bodies or wings.

I've been thinking of getting one of these front kaminari air dam's from racingbeat but i'm not so sure.
I really want it to be a perfect fit and don't like how it just sits over the original front bumper..
Tell me what you think? or tell me if there's a better looking airdam available?

i currently have the Kamai one on my car., I originally bought it with the intent of reproducing it but the economy nad hard times has it installed on car for the near future. If I get this WB from the f/s section then Id be willing to let it go for the same price I paid (it was cheap becaauise I was going to reproduce it)

selectmaz.com.au used to do these. Was called the Ultima SS kit. Not sure if they're available anymore and also having major issues trying to find front wheels that will fit without rubbing.

I'd go widebody.

Mazda 3 front lip.

Not my car.

What do you guys think? Its a cut down aftermarket abs plastic Mazda 3 front lip. I kinda dig it. They have other styles out there too, so I will have options on the looks of one.

I do body work for a living so bonding it back together will be no big deal. I may try to find a fiberglass one to make it even easier.

I was just on Google Images and came agross it.

I've been toying with the idea of building one myself. I had a Dodge Challenger come in the shop, and was gonna get the lip from it. In the end the insurance company didnt replace it.
