A couple more renders to give everyone a better idea of v1. V2 is pretty easy to imagine.

Alright guys, let's pick three choices so we can put them in a poll and try to actually get something made here.

We need one design at least 10 people are ready to prepay for (at a discount over normal price) otherwise we're moving on either the Sunoco wide body (finally) and a High Rise Spoiler for convertibles (have ten lined up for that).

Which of these three options would you BUY (any of them would be $750 + shipping by them selves, $650 + shipping with group purchase of 10, $550 + shipping with group purchase of 20)...

Option 1) Heritage Bumper... Exact copy...



Option 2) Formula/Firebird Bumper with Heritage Style Kidney Grilles...



Option 3) Trans Am Bumper with Heritage Style Kidney Grilles...



Option 3 is similar to the Evo Bumpers but with the Kidneys matching the Heritage better with Honeycomb Waterjet Cut Mesh... all the bumpers would be made this way so it just comes down to styling.

Sorry for the crappy photo shops lol...

Who likes what and why?

I like Option 1. Sorry I am a Camaro guy but my son has a Trans Am.

Whatever design, you need to incorporate a chin spoiler into it. It will modernize the look of the car so much. Consider now that you can get a chin spoiler on all 3 muscle cars (camaro, mustang, and challenger).

These look great! I also like how you incorporated the LEDs like most modern cars have.

6LE, if you wanna go the "Modern" look, I suggest this 1D/1E & V2C by Qcon then the blue one by BeastBuster for the poll, I'll be the #1 of 10 for any of them haha.

Sorry I've been moving out of my apartment so I haven't had much time to post. I'm working on some more renders to show off all the important angles, various color options, etc.

I'm also going to try (no promises lol) to make a close approximation of the WSQ hood for these renders.

They can also be smoked for the same price.
I would do this for a clear lens cover

I'd be down for 1D or 1E from Qcon. If the bumper doesn't get made, put me down for the clear lens cover.

If ten people come and say "We want XXX bumper and are ready to pay (amounts in first post) for XXX." then it's a go but I personally just don't see it happening...

I'd pay $650 for either 1D or 1E from Q as long as a FMIC will fit behind it.

I'm in for a 1E. I'd like to see a modern led look like most vehicles have now.

6LE I think it would be good to create a new thread/poll with the 2 from Qcon & 1 from BeastBuster.

Wouldn't hurt, plus it does seem there are a few people actually interested.

1E is by far the sexiest look.....hopefully it pans out as I would love to see a thread with a few cars actually running it.
