that is a good Photoshop.
Essentially, that is exactly what it will look like when done.

FF, can you remember the guy that was fusing an Integra and Focus bumper together? From what I remember, this is pretty much the same stuff he was using.

Agreed.
I am a complete novice but not too bad when it comes with working with putty and a wedge... I am getting better at painting, but not having proper tools and a area is hampers progress of course.
As for the Focus and Integra Bumper --
It was boncolli01 or bonacci01, awesome dude, and a creative individual.
To my knowledge he did complete the project, but it didn't live up to his standards so he trashed it.

for the shaving and bumper lines, and such, and especially the license plate area.
Take your time
If you apply too thick of a layer of urethane filler -- It will not cure all the way.
It will seem all perfect and may look great painted. Then 5 months later you find Rock-chips and pits where pebbles collided with the bumper.
Apply 1 layer of filler at a time, and let it cure all the way.
I've flexed my bumper several different directions, and the urethane filler holds up great. Areas where I think I rushed, or didn't mix A/B proportions as 50/50 -- I think that could be the reasoning for the pitting.
Over-all I think it's a Great modification -- put the love and sweat into such a task and it really does make impressions.
Also the fitment is the same as an OEM Kit.
word to the wise: do the rear bumper at the same time as the front. It looks funky other-wsie.
