Default Chop Request

First off, does the 20 Post Requirement for Sigs apply to Chops also? If so, then I or a mod can scrap this thread and I'll post again at a later time.

I was wondering if anyone could take the time to do a chop for me. Before I get too into it, I'll post some photos of my car and you tell me if they are good enough to use. Since I have multiple ones, I'll just link them. Asking first about my photos because they were taken outside with funky sunlight, glare, etc. But if needs be I can take the time to take better ones.

If you tell me which photo is best, then I'll proceed to looking up the parts. Basically, I would just like to see Quarter Window Louvres, Rear Window Louvres (both painted to match the car), Eleanor Hood (painted to match car), and Bullitt DD Rims (18's or 20's). Possible lower the ride a little if you want.

Thanks in advance for any help.

the 20 post min is for sigs, so you can get chops done now as far as the pics go, numbers: 1, 2, and 3 should cover all the angles you'd need. and your pics are good, btw; all we care about is that they are fairly large (easier to work with that way )

Wheels: In black, please. I can't decide between 18's or 20's. So I leave it up to you to size them to what you think looks good.

Sorry for the quantity of photos. I just wanna make sure you have plenty to choose from. Let me know if you need different angles or if nothing works. And again, I appreciate it. You can take your time with it, too. It's not like I'm in dire need for it right away

here's one view done. the first is the 18" wheels, and the second are the 20s (personally, with that particular part combo, the 20" wheels look better, imo). i also lowered the car probably around 1.5 inches or so.

yeah, i'm kind of thinking the same thing about the rear louvers; some times they look good painted (and with your part combo, this may be one of those times); but they always look good black
