Just found this one on ebay. Have not seen it posted. Looks much better than the other one out. Emailed the seller to see if there is a billet insert or mesh insert for the opeing in the middle. I also ask him if they were coming out with a whole kit.

It looks like the goombas from Nintendo. Talk about making the gaping mouth face of the Tundra even worse, yikes!!! NO vehicle looks good with a bumper opening that droops that severely on either side.
Re: Another Choice 07-09 Front Bumper Body Kit Piece
Actually, it's not negative. It's just a difference of opinion, and perhaps even a legitimate, objective critique of automotive styling. If you take a quick look at most supercars, the receipts of the best work of the best designers, you'll be hard pressed to see a similar curve. The front of a car is its "face", and no one wants to see a frown. One of the closest off the top of my head would be the most recent Aston Martin DB cars, but their bumper openings are tempered with other midline curves.
Not trying to rain on your parade, and sorry if this is another thread in which opinions were unsolicited and unwelcome.

That's all I was trying to say, in my usual abrasive manner. I think if that were changed about the Tundra bumper, it would be pretty sweet.

Looks like a Basking Shark. And with the "eyes" missing in that pic it looks soulless. Again, like a Basking Shark. Maybe if that were part of some larger styling change I'd be more for it, but for now I'm not feeling it. In the interest of full disclosure, though, I'm not into extreme modding. Just not my thang.

Re: Another Choice 07-09 Front Bumper Body Kit Piece
I think for a sport setup it has some really good potential. Maybe a head on angle would provide a little bit better feedback? Definitely post the results you get and anyother pics they may be able to provide!

Re: Another Choice 07-09 Front Bumper Body Kit Piece
Yea but our big A$$ grill surround is already a big unhappy face with the grill surround the way it turns down in a frown of sorts. So I am thinking you have to compliment the rest of the front end when designing a kit, and this would go with the grill surround look. Otherwise it would be to busy.

Re: Another Choice 07-09 Front Bumper Body Kit Piece
This kit below is for sure the wrong look IMO. The opening is way freakin' to big. But it is smiling, and kind reflects the opposite of the actual grill area. So basically we have an "O" which is a very boring look. At the least the above one has a meaner look to it.
