I no longer have the photoshops I had of that idea saved on my computer, but it didn't look right. the problem is that you can't shave the line all the way down the side of the car, only on the door, 1/4 panel and front fender (everything between the tires). Then the lines at the front and rear bumper don't flow with the car and they look out of place. Only way to get rid of those would be to bond the front bumper to the fender and the rear bumper to the 1/4 panel.

Thought about doing this years ago, with out doing the facia and rear side bumper it just looses continuity and looks odd, like you said. Going the extra mile and filling it all looks good on paper but most likely would look like a hatchet job in reality. I've come to appreciate that simple cohesive design that just flows well with the car.

My shifter **** is a #10 pool ball that matches my color scheme. BUT- the little touch is I have it turned so it reads as "01", the year of my car. You can't see the # in the pic but you get the idea.

the problem is to smooth it all the way around requires "molding" the fenders to the bumpers, which means you won't ever be able to remove the bumpers with out doing damage to the body work and paint in those areas, now this may be ok for the rear bumper but it's not practical for the front bumper.

Under hood little things that make a big difference:



Relay cover and battery cover is from a Sierra (both relay covers). The ECU cover is from a Dakota (looks factory for sure). Washer bottle delete and painted the bumper bracket. Wire mod and moved the cruise module. Corvette FRCs also..... HURST emblem has been removed



closer pic of ecu cover
