I was just messing around real quick to see how what I PS'd the blue car, would look like on the white TA. Here is what I started with:



And what I ended up with:



I like it, what about you guys?

I like the foglights. Reminds me of the C5R Vettes.

This is the Photoshop I did years ago that still haunts me.


This one is similar, but with heat extractors.

I don't think it's for sale. Maybe Someone else can give more details.

The high bumper doesn't really bother me, it adds shape to it. How would you do it? Extend it down, or made it all flat across the bottom?

phynix that is the bumper off of a one off trans am that the guy managed to snag off the original car as far as i know they were never produced the guy talked about making a mold so they could be reproduced but it never went through.

i have a connection with a guy that can make fiberglass molds if anyone would be interested i might be able to make trust's version of our bumpers. but it wil be fiberglass and not urethane which means it wont bounce back if you rub something hard enough it will crack and break. i thought about getting a mold done and one made for just me but im pretty sure the cost would outway what its worth. but then again could be wrong i would he would charge me 150 for an airbox i wanted to make so i could have true ram air but this just in the sketch stages nothing tangible. but i have a spare ta bumper that i could send to the guy to make a fiber glass mold of once that is made i cant imagine it woudl be any trouble at all to reproduce a bumper like you photochopped.

I like this but could you still leave the spike things and cut out the middle to make it one hole instead of two? I think if those were still there it will match the ones on the side of the car alot better.. Sorry if you dont understand what im talking about.. Id photoshop it if I had a mouse lol!

I definately like the look of the Enzo, one, and the last one.

Those look sweet!

Both. If you look at the E-1 and heritage fronts they are flat across the bottom. Even the new vette is flat in the front. It makes the cars look lower and sleeker. The downside is of course less clearance on a steep driveway.

He would need a car to mount it on so it would fit properly.


Of the 4 new sketches, the last one:


really seems to fit the style and flow of the car. The little crossbars in the inlets add just a touch of completeness that 2 open inlets lack. It's aggressive, but not too much so. It doesn't obviously look like any kind of ferrari clone either.
Shape wise, it complements the headlights. I was trying for that look in post 8, but your 3D drawing is much nicer,
