just know that the further you sit everything back into a hole the more air resistance youre going to get. no need for **** set way back in the bumper that isnt actually gonna effect anything. I like the one with the side scoops the best. those could be made to cool the brakes or bring air from the front up to the air tray, or even up into the engine bay for those who need the extra cooling

I think with a chin spoiler it would take care of the chin, I really liked that chop, wish I still had that car! As far as signals, I would probably get some mounted in the mirrors flush, then leave the bumper. Or get a black grill made for behind the scoops on each side and mount a blinker behind it, probably a line of LED's that flow along the top of the scoop, and have them come on only during signaling.

Looking to make an LT1 based mold for this. The only thing that me and my buddy would come up with is a fiberglass bumper that will be twice as heavy?
Is there any other material that could be used to make the entire bumper out of? Or is fiberglass the only option. If this turn out good we might consider making them for LS1 bumpers and selling them. But so far it's a project we are looking to get into.

That looks good, but boxy. I think I'm going for a sleek european supercar look. You would never see a hood like that on a supercar. I guess it can be called "too American".
The nose looks awesome, though.
I might try and lower the roofline and use a flatter hood with the nose inlet filled in smooth. Then it would go from a crude 1/4 mile looking machine to a sleek autobahn fighter capabable of 200mph+.

i looked up the ferrari and i see what u r saying. Do u guys like the foglights their or no? I am gonna draw another one with a different hood and bumper. I am gonna make it alot more lemans style. Jason WW u like the ram air style hood? or a hood more like the one on the heritage firebird but without the shaker obviously.
