Game over that looks so hot....


The openings remind me of a 360 modena ish

How about smoothing out the flip up head lights and putting them in the bumper where the fog lights are in this one pic. See if someone could do like a longer or streached light to kinda fill out the front.

Yeah I was going to suggest an idea but it looks like he already has his front end like I was going to say.

I'm thinking of taking a shot at it once I find a bumper I can use, I don't see why the vent work can't be done. I have some good idea's for it so we will see, perhaps I can have it for the summer.

I think a front end like the 2003 TA GM show car would be awesome, and can't believe no aftermarket body kit company has make one similar to it.I think it could use some fog lights at the sides.

Here's a quick photo edit of a fresh idea. I used Raider's sig pic since it was just the right angle. Raider I hope you don't mind, no offense intended if you hate it!! lol Swat

I like Jasons front end design but w/o the 2nd holds next to the drl holes, they dont cool anything and no fog lights. with that out it looks like an updated LT1

Crazy idea....I think the turn signals should be included in the design for practicality purposes.



Maybe not so big but should be there somehow...

I was thinking using some small round turn signals like from a V6/Formula bumper inside the openings or maybe add a turn signal bulb INTO the driving light housing. Pretty much I'd try to leave the side scoops open and cut the fender tub plastic to allow air flow to the brakes. Form AND function! Good thinkin tho, gotta have SOME sort of turn signals.
