Cool wheels and the notch in the ground effects doesn't look bad. I'm not a fan of the closed off grill, at all. Leave it open. N

I feel sorry for Brad's car. The wheels look good, but that front end is just horrible.

The wheels are ok, despite the fact that I hate face mounted wheels. I don't know about closing off the grill opening. One of the reasons why I like Camaros is because of the grill opening. It would probably look good on a TA since it has no openings or grills at all, which I never liked. Of course I am going to like the lower front ground effects though.

I like all but the front end...the foglight openings don't go with the rest of the car, since they're oval and everything else on the front is squared off. If you changed that part I think it would look a lot better.

On the front clip:

Notch at bottom of GFX: awesome
Filled in frot bumper: don't like
ROUND fogs: don't like

I'd like to see a car photochopped w/ just the notch in it. You camaro guys have been tossin' that idea around for a while, I think it'd look killer.

I think the notches in the gfx flow better with the grill there. I really like the notched frtend.

Maybe....ok with that notched nose the plate on the frt is messing me up. that needs to go. I'm not sure what to do with the fogs. Maybe the turn signal could be shortened in height and the fog added below it. So its basically not really seen, but still functional. Try adding the billet grill instead of the plain black plastic. May add the custom look. The the fog could be added behind it, less noticable?

Hey if you are going to shave the doors like the pic maybe you should add the 4thgen bird side mirrors like me.

The modification to the front GFX reminds me of something I've seen on a Hyundai.

cool, haven't seen that one yet. I like. I'm guessing that is still photochopped though right? has anyone physically done this yet?

redraif:
Side mirrors look REALLY good painted Not that i'm about to do that to my bird, but nice
