I think to visually match it up with the aero side skirts you'd just need to make a slightly 'raised' area for the silhouette of the skirts instead of keeping it mostly flat, if that makes any sense, kind of like the stock nose and Will's side profile photoshop above.

The sides are not completely flat, there is a design line extending from the lower edge of the intake going all the way to the sides.
There'll be a cup for the foglights, but I'm also looking at a turnsignal/foglight combo from the Prelude which looks to have the right shape and are now cheap to get. Beforehand the foglights were $300/pr. from JDM (Japanese domestic market). Now you can get both turn signals & foglights for about $100.00/set. Available in clear, smoke, or amber.

Rob those look really good. And just to let everyone know. I am in and have been since Rob decided to take money for the project. This nose will look exceptional Rob. I think I am going to fill the opening with stainless steel mesh weave like whats on the Cadillac CTS-V grill but have mine done in black chrome. What is your take on that?

Ahhh Now I see, it was not till I put them side by side that I saw the difference. The "competitors" 355 has a longer sloped nose. I would not be as critical as to say it is "Ugly" just a different style is all, and not a bad front end at all for $400. I do have to say I like the shorter one a bit better though

I'm waiting for a sample to arrive to try out. It looks promising.

More choices to choose from is what we all want.

Rob, does the honey comb piece that goes under the nose stay on or is it removed?

Count me as interested.........on the fence, might fall off.....
Quick question -- what about side moulding/arrowhead/side marker -- will this reuse the stock parts? I'll be bold and state a preference -- I think that if you leave it off, the molding seems a little unfinshed.......would prefer if it was left on.
thx,
