What did you do to fill where you cut. I'm about to cut on mine...been wanting to do this for a couple years already.

You guys are making these cars look like how they should've came from GM! I've always thought the front-end of the WS6 T/A looked too damn busy. If these hood designs and front fascias were mass produced, I would DEFINITELY convert my car over! One other design flaw I would like to see fixed is the headlights. The way the headlamp doors fit the front fascia looks like a sloppy afterthought in my opinion. I like what Morgan Motorsports did with the T/A they built back in the day. Notice how clean and flush the headlamp doors fits the fascia:

Just found some pics of it painted black. I have to say that I don't care for the fog lights though.

Could someone photoshop an all smooth LS1 T/A front bumper? Just leave the driving lights. I lost photoshop when my desktop PC was stolen.

Each to his own but I honestly don't know what you guys see in these smooth bumpers.

Well I had originally planned to open those scoops up like my other photoshops but it would be SUCH a pain in the a$$ to sand inside those scoops. And since I like the more smooth look of the LT1 bumper, it seems it's worth a shot. I don't think it looks bad at all considering my crappy photoshopping skills.

If I get the time I'll do some sketches, I'll post it see what you guys think.

OPs design looks sick though. I'd definitely get that if I had a TA. I hope you'll start making it by the time I get my TA.
