My custom bumper!
#11
I do have plans and I could easily explain to you how to make it with some drawings. It is very basic but some little tricks make it all the better. I would assume you would want a bolt on/off version rather than my welded on version (I only did this because my frame lacked structural integrity in the front after the accident).
Also the total cost of materials was about $450 after going through gas, grinding disks and so on(this also includes the price of the half built first bumper so realistically about $350). Took a few days to make spread over a long period of time.
Totally worth it.
I can't wait to get a winch and some lights that match it.
And just a stupid moment but I forgot to add a place for the license plate (which is required out here in Cali). Oh well.

OK, great, I'd like to pm you when I get closer to making this happen. I will have a guy I often use weld it for me. No time and room for error to make this my first weld.
I'd like to make it as streamlined as possible. Maybe a little less deep than yours.
I'm 99% sure I will never use a winch on this vehicle. It would be nice if I could do an easy mod in case I ever changed my mind.
I'll use headlight guards in front as well.
I did this drawing a while back. I would change a lot of things on it now.

feel free to PM me any time. That drawing is a great start! I would make that front section half as tall and take it at an angle going back, less likely to get caught up on everything. Also you will find that the stock grille goes a few inches lower (on the D2) than the plastic trim pieces under the lights (making an annoying bump that you need to work around to keep stock parts)
By any chance have you removed you front bumper before? It is quite easy and you will see what you will be building on to.
