Default S197 Body Chop

Hey guys,

I'm about to pull the trigger on some new appearance mods...but I just figured I'd let you guys have at it so I can see what I'm getting into.

Here is the plan:

C-Series Front End



Can you do this 2 ways for me? The area in question is the skinny, flat piece under the lower grill. Can you do it matte black as well as redfire? I'm trying to decide which would look better. My car is a GT/CS (obviously), and I feel like if I do that center piece matte black, I might retain a bit of it's heritage haha.

Street Scene Side Skirts



Redfire, please.

Street Scene Rear Valence



2 ideas here as well. All Redfire, or possibly try to match the GT/CS once again and do the fin area matte black.

And my car:















That's pretty much every image I have that might be useful. Hopefully something in there will work.

Thanks in advance,

HT

Yeah everything else is staying the same for now. Hood will be swapped soon though. Can you swap out the upper grill for the brushed aluminum/no fogs grill as well?

Looks great....I can't see all the detail because my internet is out and the photos are tiny on my phone. Thanks Meanstang.

lol.. thanks.. you know how it goes.. the angles/perspectives are all wrong and its soooo hard to get them to match and scaled correctly.. and then when you go to color match its soooo dark you can't see detail so you hve to lighten it up a tad.. just to see it..

Okay. So, despite the horrific angles I provided you, which lead to a rough chop, I still get the overall impression that this has the potential to look really sick. Anyone agree? I think it needs a hood...but that will be next.

OH.. I agree it looks pretty sick..

I'm just whining about the rough angles.. ignore me.. I'm picky... as long as you're happy and get the general idea, I'm happy.. its not like we're gonna put this on a t-shirt or anything lol

yes, hood...

my suggestion:

Haha, that looks pretty sweet as well, but I'm planning on going with something from Trufiber...just can't decide which one yet.
