What do you guys think of a front end like this. I just did a quick photoshop, but you can get the general idea.

my kit (http://img39.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img39&image=418024_23_full1.jpg)

It's sorta ok. I like the sides around the fogs, similar side skirts would flow well with it. Not a fan of the huge gapping mouth fronts, but it's got possibilities. Good work if it's your first try.

Im not trying to learn photoshop, i know it pretty well. Im talking about an actual design. I want a body kit, but the only one i actually like (the sct) i cant get. Also, i have my bodykit left over from my last car. An fx designs combat bumper 92-95. So, im thinking kill 2 birds with 1 stone and make a body kit moulding the old kit onto a stock gt front bumper.

Personally, I like it, just dont make the opening so "tall"

Yeah the opening is still too big, mesh or not. Other than that it's a pretty cool design.

Thanks guys, this may become a winter project for me. Just have to figure out how to cut the mouth down.

Actually looks better than some of whats out there. I agree on changing the opening. Lower and wider would match the look of the front end better.

would be nice to show off an intercooler, but im not liking the big mouth in front. sides look ok though.

What are your plans for side skirts and rear end?

I heard the SC/T kit is coming back actually, and soon I heard. If you contact PFYC.com, they will have more info for you.

They've been saying that forever now.

Do you know fiberglass well?? You could take out that little indentation on the front, and re-mold it. I like it except for that, maybe because everything from civics to mustangs have Invader or Vader style fronts.

Yes, i know fiberglass. The idea was that i could use the kit i already have and basically mold it in. The kit can be seen at www.geocities.com/stooge41144. Its an FX Designs. If i end up with a design thats nothing like the vader kit, its not worth using and i might as well start from scratch. Im just throwing around ideas. If i did sides or back, they would come later. Back would most likely be taking out a piece like Papio did.

Eh, i might end up making my own sc/t front lip. Ive read around and i dont think ill be able to bond fiberglass to plastic well. Ill make the lip separately, it wont tie up my bumper. Plus it will be an easy bolt on install. Wont have to paint my whole bumper either.
