Default What do you guys think? Quick chop.

I was bored earlier and I thought I would make the signal housing and the 'brake cooling' duct at the front one opening, then in the 2nd added the smoothend plate. What do you guys think? Oh, also widened the rear wheels for the fun of it, they aren't that wide.

Way, way to dark to see anything you did.

I would start with a much brighter picture next time.

You made a turn signal housing? I cant see it! I'm really starting to like this bumper idea of mine and I see others are as well

The brake/turn signal combo is cool but I think I like stock a little better. I love the smoothing of the license plate though, that looks sweet

Guess I'm not the only one thats thought about this. I had thought about what this would look like a few years ago and threw a pic together. I was by no means a photoshop artist then and I'm not any better now but here's the pic.

yea, never saw that thread but his chop looks better. It might be "too much" on my car since I have the ram air hood and that adds 2 big openings to the car as it is. It looks good on the silver non ram air TA though. It could be the angle too. I'll try it on another pic.

And about my sig pic, I like it cuz its different. A lot of the sigs on here show the same cars from the same angles. I may change it soon once I get motivated since I've got some new pics that I like though.

I edited the original post, if I lighten it much more the picture goes flat, but you get the idea. I guess since I can tilt my laptop screen thats why I can see it just fine. Thanks for the input, hopefully if you can see it a little better you can get a better idea. Dementia, I think your sig pic looks good, if your air dam was cleaner (foaming tire shine I think would work) it would look awesome.
