If you made it flow better it would look like sex....as it is now it seems to have a sharp bend in it which throws the flowing lines off:-(

where the headlights are it looks 3" tall but near the windshield it looks to taper back down to 2"....don't look right to me but that's me.

Looks like a well made prototype though!

its actually goes from 0- 2 in all the way to the back, i might soften the radious of the curve in the front
for it to flow better, keep them coming, Paulo.

Is the front edge higher than stock or it just an illusion?

Do that and it will look awesome!

Right now it looks like it goes to an 80's camaro

Yea I would soften the curve, but hard to say with it not on the car. I'm definitely gonna buy one

 

[the t3d]

I agree on the bend, make it taper up to 3" after the bend in the hood.

oh, and... do want.

 

[RazoE]

I actually like it the way it is...!

can't wait to see what you crank out...

 

[empera]

cant wait for this!!!

the front edge is stock, illusion.

I would love to see an installed picture. What price are we looking at? I think it's a great idea! I second the idea of making it blend just a tad bit more

 

[dbsupra90]

i like it. i'm not crazy about how tall it is in the front. i'd prefer it to be near stock height around the headlight area. then a smooth increase to full height in the rear. if that makes any sense. and if i remember correctly, you will make these in fg as well?

 

[empera]

would be best to see it on a car

 

[hvyman]

looks to sharp in the front. needs to be more rounded on the corners.

I'd buy one in a second, but a installed one for reference does the heart good.

I agree, the slope is a bit steep. A bit smoother and maybe 3" at the end?

I'm in on this thing depending on price

 

[818Supra]

I remember him saying he was only going to make these in fiberglass. I might be wrong, but I intend on buying a fiberglass one either way.

 

[Nghty89]

Hell, I'd be in for a fiberglass one

Mock it up....thats the best way. Its kinda hard to visualize without the fenders and front bumper. Lookin good so far though.
