I too like the 1st one, of course I am a bit partial to the JoeD style of bumper anyway. If it doesnt gain approach angle, I am not too terribly interested.

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

Personally I think the bumpers above (and more so the second than the first) look like they belong on a Toyota, Jeep, or similarly bland vehicle (sorry Jack!) not on what is essentially a Japanese prototype/production 4WD sports car. IMHO a bumper that completely replaces the front cladding and generally follows it's shape (without coming as low of course) would be best. Marlin wasn't Joe D looking at that kind of design? Obviously curved steel would be out of the question, but at least angling the plates to the general shape of the front would be better.
Just my $.02 as someone who will probably never buy one.
