gfx-homemade?
after a few minutes of searching i decided to ask this question. has anyone out there make their own gfx? i like the factory ones but want to add a little different image to my car. kinda make it mine. then again i was the guy who wanted to put a pro stock spoiler on my car. anywho, anyone done this or have seen this? thanks
Revlimit comes to mind, he's working on a new front clip. Also, there's a recent thread in the appearance and detailing section..... Look for "Lengthened Camaro Nose", and maybe you could ask that guy. I think Tribaldaze had all his seems removed, that's not really new, but he maybe be able to help you anyways, and then lastly, redraif added a rear spoiler to the front of her trans am nose, which looks a bit different. Beyond that I can't think of anyone with anything custom as far as a nose goes. There's a guy around here who shaved his nose emblem, but I can't remember who it was.... He was also working on shaving the parking lights, and used his fog lamps for turn signals.
I would try to use materials to stay with a urethane bumper cover and/or gfx, to keep flexiblity. A lot of these guys seem to try bondo or fiberglass, and you're just asking for cracks.

well i am basically thinking of the rocker panels primarily. i am not ot concerned about the nose because that will have to be swaped out anyway. i saw that thread about the lenghtened nose. i kinda like it but it was way to drastic in a way. anywho, thanks.

redraif has a rear spoiler upside down on the nose, upside down on the rear and a 4th n 3rg gen one doubble stacked onthe deck lid. And it really doesn't look bad. Just may not be very cheap.
