Thoughts on this bumper mod?

No it's not a balt. But hey I've had 2... I'm still part of the community right?
Here's what I'm thinking for my car, as seen here...

Somebody on the fb page did this, and I kinda like it but want some other opinions. I've already got a white/black theme going; wheels, black roof, black spoiler, tinted tails, mirrors, door handles. Thoughts on this mod specifically please, not need to mention how weak Fortes are in general cause I'm well aware.

Yeah, top pic is my car, stock front... bottom pic has the white part between the grill and the black bottom filled in. Thinking about doing this.

Top is better

Plus you would have to match the black.

I like the bottom one, plus it'll look good if it flows with the rest of your theme.. remember tho, Too much is never a good thing..
A big ass blower stickin out the roof would make it look baller tho

Second pic is a horrible angle...but maybe was taken like that because it looks awkward.

No. Notice how there is a small lip on the vw. Try to add a lip to your car
