Thoughts on this extended nose TA. I've been playing around with the body lines of my car and wondered what you guys think about extending the nose a few inches forward. It should make the front look lower as well.

You try to focus on to many things at once man. Chop tops, Custom hoods, Rear seat sub boxs, Air suspension, and now a custom front bumper. have you ever finished any of those ideas or plans?

The answer is in my sig.
I've barely driven my car in the last 7 months so I've had a lot of free time.
Keep in mind, some mods work together.
Lower front bumper needs the air suspension.
Bumper + hood + radiator relocation all work together.

To me it definitely makes the car look lower. Imagine standing at the nose. How many cars can bump you below the knees?
Plus I have plans to do a IRS swap with a ford 8.8 rear that's very low buck. Once that's done it opens the doors for a lot of cool mods. 345 tires, wheel tubs, true duals on either side of the driveshaft tucked real high as the torque arm will be gone, etc...
If I didn't keep my mind busy I'd go crazy.

I don't need to read that article. C4 rears are weak and expensive plus theres a shop on these forums that's already done it. That's not for me.
Getting back on topic, your saying that as far as looks go, you don't like the longer nose? You were a little vague on that topic. Even I agree the front and rear overhangs are too long, but when you shorten them it ruins the cars proportions. It looks like extending the nose a little really improves the looks and that's what I'm after.
