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.

 

Looks pretty cool but I think you'll scrape everywhere.

 

That's where my air suspension will help.

 

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.

 

Jason you always have great thoughts man.

very creative I like it.

 

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.

 

Sorry, but I think the current front and rear overhangs are already too long as they are.

Check out the current issue Hot Rod.... C4 IRS.
If I remember correctly, its not a full article, but there is a link to the owner's site where he talks about it.

 

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.

 

Looks good Jason! I like it

 

looks good but im curious to see how the front looks

 

I think it'll look good

 

OT but I think you need bigger brakes behind those rims

 

in that pic it looks damn good!

 

makes it look TOO long IMO

 

I looks good, but maybe just a little to long.

 

Don't like it

 

holy corvette nose batman..lol

looks great!

 

i think it would be a waste of time and money imo, you already cant see the nose when your sitting in the car

 

ditto
