More Body Kit Fun

[Rampant]

I had some more ideas for modified front bumpers, this time for a more modern approach.

And with a completely blacked out center lower lip:

As much as I liked the last one, I might like this one even more.

P.S. Thanks Chaz for the rendering at this view!

I Absolutely Love the Top One Rampant. I particularly like how you kept the overal feel and Upper Grill shape with the Outter Bumper Skin but the unique way that the Black Grill underneath looks like It is almost Structural and Emerging from Under the Skin. Very Bold and Agressive!

My only input would be that I would bring in the ends of the Lower Opening to line up with the angle of the outboard edges of the upper grill. I also wonder how it would look if that were just one big opening without the Corners in the lower ends of the upper grill, with the Black Grill inside it.

Hey Tampa -

If you follow the outboard edges of the upper grille, it will go straight to the corner of the wheel well (curve crudely meant to guess the perspective as it wraps around the front corner).

I wanted to have more material there to make it feel cleaner.

I like the lower corners of the upper grille. If you make it a four-sided trapezoid, it starts to look a little "ordinary" to me (though still good).

I love these kits! I hope they actually make some like this. I bet two wider spaced stripes would look great going down that double bubble roof too.

From this viewpoint (from the mirrors back) there are some similarities to the Mazda RX-8.

For comparison -- here is my favorite from the last bunch at this angle.

Which one do you guys like better?

I like the round fog light treatment. the current expected fog light openings I believe for me is what is keeping from really embracing the new front end. just out of curiosity can you black out the center of the bumper so it matches the grill openings on the orange car? just a color swap, I almost did that on my current car but I was not sure how it would look.

...can you black out the center of the bumper ...

Here you go:

subtle, thanks.

The orange one looks the best to me Rampant. That grille within a grille look, while interesting, would have many complaining even more that it shares with the Taurus's superman shaped grille. I also love the vertical bars lacking in the first 2. It's just a great evolution of the GT500's nose so I'd like to see that in the next stang. I know this is a body kit thread though, so it's cool what you've done here- can't wait to see all the different possibilities for changing up the look. Something for everyone.

Man, these are spot on. Ramp. I'd suggest you put turn sigs in the inner compartment of the headlights for the orange one.

 

[StangFX]

I love that orange one!

I though he meant black out the middle bumper like this. I added the headlight turnsig too.

Wow, excellent!
One suggestion… vents seem a bit too far forward to be in an effective venting position/ low pressure zone.
I like the separated grill, round headlights and blacked out bottom.

I did but I was not going to ask for him to redo it, but it is what I feared and why I did not do it to my Shelby. the lines just do not naturally flow:shrug:

it does look good with only the lower portion that rampant did.
