Lightbulb GI on new body part...opinions

I am guaging interest on i think they're called buttresses for firebird/transam/camaro.....anyways it would look similar to the ones on the innotech covertte.


if there is good feedback i will start designing some to fit our cars and begin selling them.

I think its gonna be hard to make it look good since Camaros and T/A's have spoilers which will make the design seem weird unless you integrate the spoiler in there somehow..

Good idea, but I think it's impossible to do on a Camaro, since there is no real roof line to follow.

the first attempt would be on my firebird, so it would be based on the intergrated spoiler of the formula

That looked nice on the Vette! Don't see that for the F-body being appealing though.

I did a half assed photoshop, had a real hard time finding a camaro with a color matched roof and at the right perspective. I am sure others can do better but this may give you an idea.
