front end

[zen]

so now that my bug is all together and i got it out to a show and got to really stand back and look at it and in pics like this...


i'm left thinking the front is just a little too barron and blande. i obviously was shooting for and clean look, but with the headlights painted and not breaking the space up (by design) and no bumper, it strikes me as just tooo dull. the width contributes, although i do like the wider look.

so i am looking for some feedback and suggestions. i have debated about a graphic. thought was only 1 graphic where the bumper mount and horn grill would normally be. guess i could photoshop something. just not sure i like the thought.

i don't see adding a hood handle back in as much of an answer since the door handles are shaved and all logos. i also debated on something in the shift rod cover, but struck me as too obvious and possibly corny if not done right for this car.

any other ideas since i keep shooting my own down?
