    Is it just me or does this front bumper look enlarged/lowered than a standard front bumper? Actually looks like it lines up nicely with the factory skirts.

    I think because it does not have the contours of the cut outs for turn signals and fog lights it looks flatter which it obviously is.

    I've considered that as well, but it kinda looks like it might have been extended lower about 1/2 inch in the areas above the grille. Seems to have a slightly fatter design.

    Yeah, or it's just built up with bondo while at the same time trying to be light and racey. Not great.

    True. But you never know... Someone might already have a mold for this bumper

    TRYING to be light and racey?????
    Heck, it IS light and racey. About as racey as it gets! :)
    It looks like a nice job of building an air dam in the front and keeping the stock look to me.

    This one has the same brake duct locations (front grille) as a street OEM front bumper. Single circular opening is for Challenge gearbox oil cooler.
