Default Let the M0dding Begin!

I decided to do a little photochop today. I really like how this turned out. I got into the f-body game a little late and in doing so never got a cool mod named after myself, like the "whistler headlight mod". Here is my mod, call it "The phantomzer0 Mod!" (insert cool sound effects )



Well, what do you guys think? Pay little attention to my poor photoshop skills


EDIT: Shot part duex:

Kinda reminds me of the lowered imports that are sooooo low they have to cut the lip/center section out to clear driveways.

I meant, ricers as in this. But not the car as a whole, i was referring to the practice of cutting off the lower section of the bumper due to damage like this. That was they can clear driveways and things. I wasn't calling the car ricer. Hell i'm getting one, granted they get an LS8.

I hate the hood scoop on the front...extra air or not I like a smooth snout.

True Canadia is an American protectorate.
