For those implying about the bumpers and other modifications to the exterior of your SN take a look here. I've been playing with paint to get an idea before I approach my sister who has a 4 year designing degree from UGA. This is just me getting an idea.

Before:

After:

Rocker lowered 2-3", Rear and front bumpers lowered 2-3", Door lock and gas tank door shaved, door handle moved back 2 inches, Side scoop deleted and smoothed. Obviously the terminator spoiler hasn't gotten into it yet. This is just a prelim idea for the whole package of the car.

i like the side scoop idea.
looks clean as hell.

the door handles moved a few in ches back makes the look extra long.
Saleen side skirts?
and the dalamars rear bumper?

It does looks great none the less

Actually no side skirts. I'm playing with the idea of making it all onto my car and then repoping it in urethane/fiberglass. I'd just use sheet metal and a roller to bend it down and bring the rocker level with the pinch weld at the bottom. Rear and front bumpers would be custom done and eventually molded. A little like dalamars but he did just behind the wheel, the whole rear bumper will be moved down.

its just an idea at the moment. Side skirts turned out exactly like I want, essentially flows with the rest of the car. These cars look as if they are trucks because from the pinch weld up they round and tighten the corner and it doesn't give it enough of a low feel. Match the front to the back between the bumper and side skirts and I think the car flows well even with the cobra spoiler.

Dunno. Think these cars need the stock skirts. But without I def agree with the rocker extension. It's a must w/out skirts. Your vision looks great!

I love the rear bumper, i think the skirts are too low and the front bumper could go either way pending on seeing a front angle. I'd personally leave the scoops and door handles alone.

I actually like the idea of smoothing out the cove behind the door. Really changes the look of that area, makes it not as cheap looking.

It just gives the car definitive body lines versus the super rounded and capped ones it has now. more sport carish and European in a way but it makes the car really feel like a sports car

Overall, for what you can see, it looks really good !! The side skirts are a little too much for me but I really like the bumpers
