Hey looks good. I see to minds think alike, I also used the electrical conduit to turn my snorkel into the fender. My snorkel build thread is also on here you should check it out if you haven't already. Here's a link to My Homemade Snorkel Build Thread.

Actually there is a gutter bend that u can use to turn it into the bumper ..but the angle might be kind of hard to cut on the fender ..I was gonna use it but found the conduct to be easier ..and be my guest on making the snorkel man ..

You do realize that won't be water tight right? Which essentially defeats the point of putting on a snorkel. I understand that looks are one thing too but honestly if your going to put something like this on your jeep I think you should make sure it functions. Just my opinion though.
Good job on getting the bends looking good though.
