alright fellas,

i was gunna do one with a front bumper, but i ran out of paper (i dont draw much, so this whole "proportion" thing is new to me. lol)

i got the side exhaust again with an "enlarged" stock rocker pannel. a low hanging "stock-ish" rear bumper.

And a new spoiler. This spoiler i imagine as more of a s281 that reaches out farther. very subtle from the rear, but aggressive from the front.

I left the wheels blank, because wheels are hard to draw. lol.
STock hood

I added c-pillar vents.... what do you guys think? im afraid im getting too close to "Elanore" from GN60SECs.

as you can see, i left the factory antenna as well...

<img src="http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/2/3678/161/21692580024_large.jpg">

the front bumper is based off a 1999 cobra. The round foglights would be the same size as the 1994-1998 cobras. but tehy ARE tucked in closer to the center of the bumper. The front center part is nice and open to allow flow for any intercoolers.


Ive decided next time ill start drawing at teh front... lol. i think it will look better.

so in this one:

C pillar vents (they face rearwards) - yes? no?
1999 cobra bumper with 2003 mach 1 chin - yes? no?
taller stock side skirts with side exhaust - yes? no?
elongated rear bumper (stock-ish) - yes? no?

let me know if you would purchase this, how much you would spend, and what you would change.
Would the exhaust have to be part of the package to purchase the kit?
would primer have to be part of the package to purchase the kit?

***Remember guys, take this thread seriously, as it carries alot of potencial (sp?) I want to make a product you guys would be willing to purchase with pride!! ***

Also, please keep in mind right now I am thinking of making these kits out of "High Density Polyethylene" which is the BEST plastic material on the market. Keep this in mind when you think about price. I cant sell Captain Morgan at Admeral Nelson prices... lol! These will be THE BEST on the market. This product is stronger than polyuerthane (sp?) ..... Its what we make our products for the US govt. out of... so im not going to use junk. lol. Also, we use rotational molding, which gives the best bonding in the plastic due to the processes we use to make the product. The quality on these kits will be un-surpassed!

I'm really liking those side skirts. If I had the money I would pay up to ~$250 for just the skirts. You should try drawing a rear view so we can see the back bumper

Another thing on the side exhaust, I think you would get more buyers if you offered exhaust tips that fit the skirts since its getting so hard to find the svo/borla style tips. Then we could just have an exhaust shop bend us up some pipe and it would be relatively cheap for custom side exhaust.

You could also try something similar to something like the Aeroshield that CDC offered for the rear if enough people were interested.

I'm really liking the looks so far. I can't really guess about cost as I'm on a squeeky tight budget. I do like the type of mods that look like they could be stock but only real knowledgable people could figure it out.

I think that front bumper could look badass man but I'd have to see it on a car before I purchased it, same goes with the rear bumper...

I was going to actually do that with the stock skirts... But I like the front bumper. A rear bumper like Dalamars is perfect... I like the louvers too!!!

hmmm, does that go all the way under the gas tank? does that cause emissions/safety problems? (holds heat against the gas tank/holds gas inside the cars "area" if it were to leak or the tank fails, instead of letting it go to the ground)

^Looking at that pic is it even possible to get the exhaust up there like it is in the first drawing? I would think the frame would be in the way?

It is in fact not possible unless the frame is cut to get it up there or a severe bend run against the body... most likely not possible because it is about 3/4" away from the frame already.
