Update...OK...so I couldn’t let the headlight hose thing go. I went for a smaller hose and cleaned up the edges a bit. Here’s a quick comparison with the Smaller tube on the right as the new one.

As far as the bumper goes. Its all prepped and ready to be painted. Turned out pretty good. I’m just working on some other small additions for the sides and that might be it till summer. I just got a Harley Night Rod so I am slightly distracted. lol

That's some impressive fabricating skills you ve got! My advice would be to not mass produce this. That's only because I m selfish like that and would want to maintain uniqueness

I like the smaller hose, looks much cleaner. Also, looking forward to seeing the end result of that front bumper. I agree with the others, you should make a mold.

I agree with the hoses, so far looking great! I admire your dedication and passion into this project, as well as letting you be a part of the design stages

Talk about skills lol great job and it looks better than i thought it would. I would suggest transfering some of the G's body looks into your design because otherwise you would have to mess with everything to make it look right. A simple suggestion would be to transfer the hood line to about 3/4 the top of your bumper and disapating it. All in all it looks like you know a lot more than me though lol good luck looking forward to results

Well the bumper and rear side skirts(?) are done. Pain in the ***! lol. I just need to send them off to get the final touch up and paint. I took down a lot of the sharp edges as suggested but you will still notice drastic lines in the front from the regular G bumper, but that’s kinda the point no? Anyway I think you will be pretty satisfied. By the way, thanks for the suggestion on the lights! They look fantastic now that I got to touch them up a bit. Stay tuned! Hopefully just another two weeks!

Holy cow! I totally forgot about this thread.

Just read through it and it turned out so much better than I would've thought. What you did to the headlights flows so well with everything. Mad props for those mad skillz man. I'm with soolman, keep this exclusive.... or you could probably make a few $$$ if you have a company make a mold for it, but for a limited production only. I'm so excited to see the final pics man.

Would be funny if an Infiniti corporate guy saw your car on the road and be like "WTF?!, I thought that Essence concept was in storage?"

Well good news. Should be done this week coming! I can’t wait! Ill post my pics and then see what you guys think. I met up with a local fiberglass company that works with custom car projects and if there really is enough interest.....this will go into production as well as the other parts I have made for the car. I’m going to be working on a trunk lid this summer as well. Should be some neat stuff! I’ll keep everyone posted! Thanks for props!

Yes, there is definitely interest in your work, if you do go through with production, sign me up for a diffuser!
