XXX ES250 bumper, opinions?

Found a 91' es250 at the yard and snagged the bumper (like the way it looks alone vs. the whole front end swap), also took the clear markers and added a home depot lip (backed it with a layer of fiberglass for some rigidity), wanted some opinions from my fellow yota owners. so whaddaya think?

It might just be the angle of the picture, but the bumper looks abnormally large in comparison to the rest of the car. Do you have a photo taken from the side at a 20-30 foot distance?

re:It might just be the angle

yea, i thinks its the angle, i don't have one 20-30 ft, but one a little farther. From the midline up it is identical to the factory camry bumper, its only different in that it is a one peice design.

looks pretty good, more of a sporty look to match your wheels. It looks beefier.....maybe if the body and bumper were the same color it would blend better and might make it look closer to stock. I like my cars stock so I don't really have an eye for the sporty look and what looks good or bad.
