I like the idea of airbrushing a metallic bird back on. I still can't decide on something for the rear, it will definitely get painted darker but don;t know what to do with the holes.

Clears are not real. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Photoshopped...

i love the way the car looks in the first few pics, especially the drop <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> , looks very very pimp <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" /> . As for the bumper? i like the darkersilver shade, but the filled in looks somewhat enormous, although the more i look at it the more i seem to like it, <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> , lol. Would it be possible to get the lights silver tinted like that? that looks very badass, i've seen something (sort of) similar in a donut video, black formula with like blinding blue halogen-like rear lights instead of red (obviously illegal, but it looked very unique. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Here' s my insight, for whatever it' s worth...

First...please, no clear taillights. I like the molded-in front plate, with the bird still on it. As for the back bumper, I would either leave it alone, or maybe fill it in, but also fill in the line around that section. Photoshop that and see how it looks. I can' t really thignk of a way to fill in the back bumper. I would try to come up with something kinda creative to do with the back bumper.

That' s my two pennies anyway....

actually... you COULD do that, legally, if you somehow made a "box" or something out of dark red, translucent plexiglass to go around the bulb... so it would illuminate red, but if it wasnt let, it would be clear. not sure how visible that would be during the day though <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
