yeah I've never been a huge fan of the wingswest kit, still not. If this was just a regular camaro, i'd do the CME or their solid valence with dumps, but this car the will have the t/a front bumper, so that changes everything...

I like the way the both of the firebird bumpers (t/a and formula) are designed to flow with the t/a sideskirts, which is why i want to incorporate them into the design. And i don't think it looks right to have the gfx on the sides with a cme/solid valence in the rear, since they don't really add to the lower look, so i don't think they' would flow right. I was originally planning to use the RS kit for the rear, but after seeing ^that car, i think they're lines will flow with everything better.

but, either way, nothing is set in stone at the moment, only time will tell.

after having just seen a couple good pictures of it from the rear, i think i'll paint that center piece black, or do something a little more custom with it. leaning more toward the latter than the former.

pulled a bit more off the front today. (foam crash pad, fogs, some of the bumper support brackets...)

been getting rained in, so i haven't been able to get out much. and i'm going to be busy for the next few days. hopefull i'll get my t/a fenders/brackets and foam support on friday or saturday. I'm going to be getting a paint sprayer and a new/larger air compressor pretty soon as well, to do the engine bay, (and eventually the car)

yeah, the only problem is that i'm not gonna pay to ship them, which is why i haven't put in the effort to sell them. bumper/fenders are far too big to try and ship.

yes indeed. I literally have EVERY detail planned for the exterior of the car, down to the most specific things. but thats for me to know, and you guys to have to wait and see

its on BMR springs, with an advertised drop of 1.25". i believe the front went the full 1.25, but the rear came short of that. I'm actually considering swapping the rear springs to something that will set it down lower. But, i'm going to wait till i finish the transmaro car, because it's going to be getting 19's as opposed to the 18's i'm on now, so that should fill more of the gap.

a good shot of the front:

**** man. I'm actually diggin this idea more than I thought I would.
I actually think it has a LOT of potential to be super badass.

Just keep doing it your way, don't let anyone tell you how you want it.

Good luck.
