Design Contest - LS1 Trans Am Front End
#82
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.
This is the Photoshop I did years ago that still haunts me.
This one is similar, but with heat extractors.

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!

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,

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