Hi

Thinking of modify my GTA fron so I will get more air to the IC/rad. I have ssen some photos where they have cut a big hole in the middle. But I'm thinking It may look better with somthing in the lower area, between the fog lights?

Something inspired by a C6 or new camaro?

gta324 · 11-20-2009, 06:47 AM

a few more pictures if that would help and one example

wgripp · 11-29-2009, 03:54 PM

do you have the picture of one with the big hole in the middle?

First one is not bad.. but the others just look odd..

gta324 · 08-16-2010, 01:20 PM

Anyone with photoshop skills that could do some example of how it would look with an opening between the fog lights??

Sure, here ya go

Not the best, but more matched up

Berlinetta101 · 08-22-2010, 10:30 AM

Okay, maybe one more

I think this one looks very good

gta324 · 09-21-2010, 01:24 AM

thx!

I would like to keep my fog lights.......and maybe a bit taller opening? Just have to find a used gta front to modify..........

GTA Sammy · 09-23-2010, 09:11 PM

I think that you'd have to follow the original body lines to some extent...
I like the opening on the bottom between the 2 fog lamps #7.
The other openings in #4 are just too big..... and in your face....

But what matters more form or function?

gta324 · 09-24-2010, 02:35 PM

yeah, no7 is what I'm thinking of, dont know if the opening should be straight (like the foglights) or leaning inward like the picture......... But must find a spare front now....

It recently picked up an 85' TA and the front was already cut. I orginally thought of replacing the front end, but the look has grown on me and I'm gonna keep it, just need to replace the grill material with something better.

gta324 · 09-25-2010, 03:46 AM

update with pictures when you have replaced the "net" with something else.....

Doesnt look to bad

the black GTA (polly) with the cutout in the middle also looks good, but not sure how good it would look on a red car............

I'm too gonna get a cowl hood

gta324 · 09-25-2010, 03:54 AM

I like that, but I'd use rectangular fog light not round ones, to go with the square body lines. Could just relocate the stock fog lights up.

wgripp · 09-26-2010, 10:45 AM

what kind of hood is that?

ryansws6 · 09-26-2010, 11:18 AM

I like it, but yeah fogs need to be square or hide them in the gril on each side.

gta324 · 09-26-2010, 12:18 PM

some say if you say its name 5 times infront of a bugatti, it will come and eat the bugatti

gta324 · 12-08-2010, 04:43 AM

Found a x-tra front so I will try to make something that loks good.........

camaro42 · 12-08-2010, 09:31 PM

Definitely post some progress pics as you do this in the fabrication section. I'm doing something a little different with my camaro front but would definitely like to see how others tackle some of the similar ideas.

tylercamaro · 12-28-2010, 03:04 AM

well im sorry if this is a dead thread, but i startede my own thread with an idea i had but no one responded=(, anyways i had an idea between the transformers camaro/grand am and the trans am front end, i played around with deleteing the popups with it, a ram air vent thing and a cowl hood but you can ignore those and since im no good at photoshop and lack the photoshop equiptment i drew it on paper (OLDSCHOOL)

camaro42 · 12-28-2010, 02:09 PM

Hey Tyler. I like the looks of the concept drawing. something about it reminds me of a late 80's Supra.

tylercamaro · 12-28-2010, 02:24 PM

thank you would anyone care to make it in photoshop, i used the vents from the transfromers camaro, and the lower spoiler from a supercharged grand am

gta324 · 01-03-2011, 03:09 PM

No, not dead

just to damn cold in the garage

tylercamaro · 01-03-2011, 04:33 PM

well if you have any progress or make a new thread. if you post it on here then id be very interested in seeing any progress youve made so far

gta324 · 01-04-2011, 01:15 AM

The only process som far is I've marked out where I think I will cut the hole....
But it's soon time to do some cutting......Will post pictures along the way....

tylercamaro · 01-04-2011, 06:33 AM

gta324 · 01-16-2011, 05:25 AM
