How about tilt the center bar forward a little to give it some depth and style. It's to straight up and don for me. Also, it looks like the position of the lights would be right in front of the turn signals. My 2 cents.

factory fog lights incorporated into it, get rid of the bull bars on the outside edges and taper the ends upward into a mid-width.

and a built-in skid plate that covers the steering box and motor for electronic discos on the rubicon.

that would be my perfect bumper!!!

I'm not feeling it. IMHO, using the above version, get rid of the side bars and somewhat taper the ends down into a mid-size or stubby bumper and it'll look pretty good. Oh yeah, and put the fogs back in. Better yet, make it look like this.......

it's a bit boxy. taper the bottom up at ends and re-work the side bars (which i kinda like) so they sort of flow out of the bulk of the bumper. definitely integrate the factory fogs.

very nice start.
