front bumpers and tucking em away? pics?

yea i was thinking maybe some of you didnt like how factory bumpers stood out 6 inchs from the body especially the front, i understand the concepts of tucking the bumper but not over doing it where that square body look fades, making it seamless, all i am asking if some of you guys share some photos of 1 1/2 inch to 2 inch tucked front bumpers

to tuck the front, you will need to cut the frame

IMO, tucked bumpers don't look good unless they are narrowed to match...if not, the gap iseneven from front to side, make thebumper look too wide then.

True. im not saying distort the whole bumper look and making it wider. just were the bumper and dog house meet there is a 3 1/2 gap
