i had to do it. I love this guys car so i cleaned it up a bit more.

im think about doing the same to my car. ill like rig up the headlights to act as turn signals. anybody ever done this? you guys like it?

and i think that getting rid of the seem between the nose and the fender looks really good. i hear its real hard to do though. maybe if the nose and fender were fiberglass then you could bond them together or sumtin. i dun know, but ima try to figure a way to do it....any help would be great!

(edit: oh yah, i got rid of the nose emblem,z28 badge, and red chevy logo on the grill.)

 

lol, didnt notice the other thread....but this one gives you an idea of it painted.

 

looks really good. thats one clean car btw i love it.

 

well okay id leave your fog lights and turn em into turns because your turns have to flash yellow and you cant have either of your head lights doing that....other then that i think its a cool mod.

 

Can't you put in a really bright led inside the headlamp?

 

i know its a really crappy photoshop, but I think 1 piece headlights would look really sweet with the parking lamps shaved!

 

yeah i agree! maybe you could fit some turn signals in the headlighs too...somehow...lets figure this out !

 

Ok, my mind's made up, I dont like it.

 

i love it

 

i like it more and more each time i look at it. i think im gonna do it.

 

oh, what if you drilled into your headlights and added a yellow light for the turn signal.....grrr...but how would that work at night...well..i dont use my brights...

 

I don't like it...it's too plain. I do like the one piece headlight mod though. I think FLYNLOW has done that with his ride. Very sweet. I wouldn't recommend shaving that seam off on the nose. There's a good chance it'll start cracking after awhile.

 

I like it a lot better on a car thats painted, but I'm still not sure if I like it that much.

 

To me, there is just too many things in the front of a thirdgen/fbody.

You;ve got two headlights, turnsignals/marker lamps,license plate, badge/emblem, and a big open spot for the grille.

It's all personal opinon that matters I suppose. If you were to get rid of the seam, the turn signals/makrer lights, and get one solide headlight I think it would look sharp.

To me an all white car with minimal trim,tinted windows, and what little trim is left, paint gloss black.

You end up with a pretty sweet looken ride.The absence of all those things really adds to the lines of the car (more sleek, and stealthy looking) in my point of veiw.

I belive, you can g et a filler that doesn't harden quite solid, and a paint that is semi flexible as well. If you use that instead of fiberglass/hard *** expoxy, it should flex with the car. Unless of course you hit a curb/parking stop.

Here's a little photo shop of the one in your sig

 

i think with no parking lamps, it needs brake ducts in its place

 

hmmm, i like it on the black car, but not on mine

 

how bout brake ducts with little yellow/amber/ led's aroundt he perimiter of the duct that act as turn signals.

 

how do you guys think one of them metal grills would look on the black car (like one of the ones flynlow has). i dun know if i should even attempt to photoshop that without a donor pic. anybody got one that looks close to the same angle?

 

Dude, Drone that looks bad ***! Maybe you could integrate some turn signals into the front GFX or something. I did a photochop on mine like that at my site.

 

What about a composite style headlight with headlights, brights, and turn signal that all fits in the orignal headlight pocket, but with a flush look like headlight covers ??? Thats what I would like to do eventualy.

 

yeah, thats what i was thinking. intergrate it all into the headlights....but i kinda like the one color look of the headlights. but keep thinking cause i wanna find a solution because i just gotta do this mod ;o

 

Here check this out, this is from the newer impallas. There is a black peice of plastic that seperates the different lights/reflectors, because this peice is black even with a clear lens it looks like it is blacked out. I think if this light were rearanged/reshaped to fit into a camaro headlight pocket it could be a good way to solve many problems. You would get a smooth look with out the receced lights, and the parkin lamps, plus it would apear blacked out yet still give really good lighting.

Some time soon I plan on getting ahold of one of these and making an attmept at reworking it to fit my camaro.

Not a bad idea! I like those fog lights. I wanna use something like those on the bottom of my bumper to use a turn signals.

 

They are gone! lol I like it!

 

I think it would look good with a billet grill in there......

It looks to plain when it's ALL black....

 

The first pic makes it look more like a race car front end. Don't care for the single headlight pic though.

 

I agree, I think it'd look better with a billet grille

 

hey flynlow, gimmie a pic of your car at the same angle so i can photoshop a grill in on the black one.

 

You might be able to use the original photo he has of the shot in his sig, and mirror it.

 

need a lil bigger of a picture.

 

meh, best i could do with having to blow the image up so much.

but i can tell right now that the grill in there will look freakin awesome. now i just gotta figure out the turn signals and im gonna do this.

 

That's why I said you could use the original photo that his sig came from

Still looks not too bad.... looks like a billet grille in there would look awesome, 500% better

 

i did, but the original was like half the size...

but yeah, you can tell a real one in there would look freaken sweet.

 

I think the front without the turn signals resembles the real IROC race cars .. looks good but beyond my bodywork skills.

 

heres an idea-

would foglights behind the billet grill be bright enough to be used as turnsignals. (assuming you tint them yellow or use a yellow bulb).

 

Fog light turn signals would be TOO bright. You could either use some of those generic aftermarket side markers, or what I did for fun was drill the back of a cheapo set of fog lights out, then mount a 1156 bulb socket onto it; it became the franken light (similar to the a poor man's unerlighting, didn't use it long). You'd want to use a 1157 socket. Just a suggestion.

I had a blue bulb in mine and I mounted it so it "sprayed" out from under the front lower GFX - kinda cool actually.

 

Is that a photoshop job on the front blinkers? or just the emblems? I thought I was the only one But I'm still primer for the time being.





If you want any info, shot me an email @ webmaster@danielbuck.net I'd be happy to show ya how I did it (I took lots of pictures of the entire process)

I am using my stock foglights as the blinkers, and have had no complaints. If you do have some complaints, I guess you could angle them downward a bit.

hu?

 

i went to post something but didnt realize i hit reply instead of starting a new thread....but i did start a new thread on a similar, yet completly different subject

 

yeah but wouldnt you need it to be really bright to see it good behind the grill during the day? is this idea even good or am i dreaming? i dont know what those grills look like in person.

its a photoshop. i guess i did a good enough job if ya cant tell ;o
