Default Firebird CME Photoshop :)

Almost everyone likes the CME (Center Mount Exhaust) that the Camaros got, so while I was bored and curious, I threw something together using 3DFORMULA's rear view pic. I'm not sure wth to do with the plat though :\ I really like how it looks.

Yup also think Cowl Hoods for the camaros don't really like the look on Firebirds.

Yea, I forgot to add in that I'm a die hard "Leave things that were designed for one car, on that car". Like the 98+ Ram Air hoods on... well EVERYTHING :\

Which rectangle? Nothing was modified except me erasing the licenseplate and then coloring it black. It's not "cut out" if that's what you mean I just tried to emulate it being painted black. Maybe I made it too dark is all :\

Get rid of the gap look between the tips and the top of where they exit and it would look pretty cool IMO. Kind of hard to explain lemme do somethin real quick..

Kinda like this, but I made it in paint cuz I'm a lazy bastard


Except with a bit more blending then just the eyedropper tool and paintbrush.

Kinda cool but I prefer them on the Camaros. If the car was real slammed it might look pretty sick.

It could be perfected to look really cool i think, but it would need some plastic fabrication. If i saw it going down the road i would think it was cool. And if you lowered it it would look even better.

While I wouldn't do it to my car, simply due to my lack of body fab skills, but if I DID have the skills I'd do it in a heart beat

It might look better with the raised spoiler as well, but I don't feel like trying to find a perfectly centered *** pic of a T/A lol

I might check out that ONE body kit they make for the Birds and see how the rear bumper area looks. That'd help give it a lower profile and could require little to no bumper mods and just rear skirt modding.

EDIT: Doh, NM. The rear skirt wasn't quite how I thought it'd be. For some reason I figured it'd be across the whole back >_> Which doesn't make sense due to exhaust location haha

Camaros have a lot of straight lines that make the CME look good. The chop looks pretty good though, I'd have to see it in real life to make a true judgment.
