That looks great! 
I might try it, my black bumperettes are getting a bit worn.

Nice, but those taillights make me vomit. Good idea, but it looks like flat military gray. Shine it up, or clear it, or something. Constructive criticism, I had to redo mine the first time too.

I appreciate the criticism, no problem. The taillights are just a temporary thing. I was at Wal-mart and saw they had that spray-on bumper guard paint on clearance. So I bought some just to play around with. I did the de-amber of the taillights for the PCA tour. I think it looks okay, but I need to just replace the lights with something better. The bumper guard paint wipes right off with a paper towel...

Yeah, I love Danny's car, but he doesn't have it anymore does he? If he does, I'd like to see it in person sometime... I'm in Northern Cali too. His car inspired me to get a CF hood. I think he used just a black piece of plastic to cover up the bumperette holes. Another member used black plexiglass which looked awesome on his black car.
I chose to use perforated metal after looking at the Gemballa rear bumper with the exhaust coming out of the middle of the bumper (like with a Carrera GT). That kit uses perforated metal to cover the bumper cover opening.

Here's the car that got me to think about using mesh in the back. The owner of this car highly modified his bumper cover though. The mesh opening is actually cut out, which does look better at the edges.

Here's the black plexiglass cover... same concept, just a different look. Looks awesome on a black car.

I've seen this bumper sold at 9ff before. http://www.eurocarboutique.com/pg.cfm?pgn=gallery
It's not custom unless you count the center part that is cut out with mesh.
