Default Custom front bumper

I've always hated the front bumper on the 75-79 C3s, ugliest thing on the car IMO. For a while I wanted an 80-82 front bumper without the front license plate section, I saw it finally and I'm not sure that I like it better than the stock style. What do you guys think? If I did do this one, I'd have a billet grille behind the open area.





Recently I was planning on making a custom bumper for my 78 that looked more like the 74 bumper (without those huge ugly bumperettes).

Tonight I was browsing pics and I think I'm changing my mind again. Check it out, 80-82 style in glass, molded in, side markers glassed over.

I actually don't care for that one too much. It needs a grill or something. It looks like a gaping mouth fish the way it is in that pic.

Something like this Adam?
I think it look ok. I think it is a little too plain though.

Looks like a giant high smiley face.

Yeah I've decided to just go with a stock style fiberglass and mold it in. It just looks better with the divider in the middle. I still might get rid of the sidemarker lights, can't decide.

Thanks for the photoshop Adam. It reminded me that I'd have to get a perfect bend in the billet grille for it to look right.
