New front bumper for Toyota T100 (w/ pix)

Hello all -

As I mentioned inprevious posts, my intentions were to buy a T100 and aero-mod it.

After finding a decent T100 which was no easy task, I found a 95 4cyl / 5speed Long bed like I was hoping to.
It did take a little bit of work to bring it to a decent condition, but I went ahead and changed the shocks, tires, seatbelts, fluids and even washed it .

So, now that the truck is running well enough an I managed to get a baseline of 21 MPG out of it, I decided it to start aeromodding it (and install a good stereo in it, but that's a different story).

I went ahead and designed a complete replacement of the bottom half of the front bumper, rather than messing with the original part.
It is a complete bolt on piece and fully reversible to the original condition with drilling a single hole or such.

I'm still missing the brackets that hold the corners aligned with the body (right now they're sticking out) and the center bracket that rounds the bottom nicely and holds it from flapping in the wind.
I'll finish those tomorrow.
