You got the curve of the Bentley bumper down real nice. Are you planning on upgrading the exhaust? That should factor into what you do for the rest of the bumper. You also might want to be careful with how close you get the bumper to your exhaust, don't want anything burning or melting.

oh yeah i'll keep it from burning on problem and for the exhaust im going with larger pipe but im not sure if im going to go with a faster flowing muffler i don't really like loud exhaust on hondas (the larger pipe is for a supercharger i want to get) and as for the exhaust tip? im not sure if i want the tip showing or chrome the edge of the exhaust hole and put a grill or screen to kinda of cover the pipe

You could always dump your exhaust if you don't want it showing at all anywhere. Won't help a lot with flow and it is usually pretty loud, you could get electronically controlled cutoffs for it to cut noise down when you want. But it will open up your options for the bumper shape. You could also get a custom bent exhaust to go out the side of the car instead of the back.

What makes you want to go with a supercharger rather than a turbo?

I really really wanted to put my exhaust out the side of the car but if I put it on the side of the rear bumper it would put black all over the side of the bumper
I really wanted to put it just in front of the rear tire but the rear passenger mite burn there leg and since I cant cut into the frame it would have to go under the frame
But now that you got me thinking about it again I'll look back into it

I don't think you'll get a lot of soot on the side of the car unless you're running rich or have deleted a cat, someone correct me if I'm wrong. You could route it out behind the rear tire too. And dumping the exhaust would keep it totally hidden.

I like the thinner (passenger side) for the rear more. It looks more slick.
