If you could recess the whole thing back and under, say an inch or two, I think it would give you the look you want. It breaks up the big front panel, and give it the look of a racing spliter.

Great idea, but major surgery. I know, I know, major surgery is my middle name but the gain vs. work is way too small. I'm gonna shorten it a little this weekend and take a few more pics and see how it looks...

wooo...[in my best ob schneider voice]...john gettin fancy with the photoshop. you been doing some homework. and a great idea. i really like it. not speaking for the work required of course.

if you like the way the side roll under, what about letting the front roll under like it wants to and then only add the splitter underneath it hanging the 1" or 2" it should? just a thought. still liken that VKG logo idea.

if you have some old bumpers kicking about you could thin them out so they don't stand so proud of the front and 3/4 them and finish the inner edge with a end of the rear bumpers

sort of flushish looking bumpers that end just shy of the centre givin room for a licence plate
