Winch bumper...

I dunno if I mentioned it, but I smacked a corolla a few weeks ago, and my front bumper is messed up... so I'm considering doing a winch bumper instead. Talked to chicks and she knows a guy that might be able to do a winch bumper for the Titan. I'm looking for something that's not as extreme? angular? as the Kennesaw bumper.

Post me up some pics so I can get some ideas!
I'm thinking I'll get it powder coated smoke to match the truck.....

The possibilites...

Yeah I like the ARB except the hoop needs to be all the way around or not there. You could also do a Road Armor....http://www.roadarmor.com/ra3/nissan.html....however, these are rather pricey. Here are some pics:

I think, that unless you get someone to make the support frame from bent tubing, you are going to be stuck with "Angular" as most fabricators, don't have the equipment to roll steel plate.

In my opinion, a tube frame with a stock facia, would look the best. That would take a few side extensions to the plastic to blend in.

My center facia is the part that's messed up already.

I wonder if he could just do a center section? Hmmmm...

Could you mount something like the Warn Trans4mer system in there?

I dunno, it depends on the space inside/on the bumper. It would be an upgrade for me at some point if I decided to.

Can somebody try photochopping something onto this photo? I'd love the PSD too so I could turn the layer with the truck on and off....

It would replace the chrome section in the middle, and bolt the stock "ends" back on.

Or could you make a mount where you actually keep the center section and mount the winch behind it, where the lower grille opening is. Have the cable coming out of that? I think that woudl look really clean but still be useful.
