Hmm... I dont know, Id try to stay away from humongous gaping holes and go with something a little more....hmm... Less squareish and more...contoury? Hard to explain. I never was much of a fan of the bug eye thingies either, theres just no squares on the SVX's body lines that justifies putting them in the bumper.
Best of luck on choosing a design. I mean...If I personally dont like it...your like a thousand miles away, so who cares? lol

I guess the clearance can't be helped, but man, those fog place holders are really big.

I had a thought eariler today you could make a small scale SVX out of fiberglass or clay and make a few little bumpers to see what thse ideas would look like.

Hmmm, small scale model I guess photoshoping would be much easier. JJ can help us out with it, he's really good

An idea ive been playing with, is to take the shape thats already there, and extending the all the faces and exaggerate all the curves. keep the same look of the front end. I like how it looks, just maby add a bit more of an agresive look to it

I think the bumper you have now is great, and wouldn't modify it at all if that's the look you want. So if you want to change things, I try something completely different.

The front of a Nissan S13 Silvia is very similar to that of the SVX. The car also has a HUGE aftermarket. You might want to check out some of the bumpers available for them, and they look like they'd be pretty easy to modify for SVX fitment.

Here's a quick example:

The S13 is getting old, but so is the SVX. I personally like the "old school" look, but you may want something newer...

Interesting look, but as you said this look reminds me of the old 1985 BMW's 3 series Alpina. Now I am in between the K-Staff or refixing my current one. Maybe I will just add the K-staff lip for the time being on my stock bumper and then redo my front bumper with some modifications when I will have time...
