Randy won't delete this thread because Gav has not tried to sell anything. Now come on, are we gonna scare every person with a good idea outta here?? If so the pelican boards will be busy and John D. will wonder why the Rennlist is running in the red, and he'll be looking for answers. Can I get a witness??

I'm not a fan of the body kits either but...this one I really think is on the right track. I like how it "conveys" the feel of a shark. The gills and the large open predators mouth.
It's the 4th photo...from the rear that doesn't scream out for me. But, I've always had some problems with certain angles from the rear making it look fat.

Thanks guys some good input - I did initially make it to hold factory lights - but I think it looks better with the ovals- once again a matter of taste and technlogy the new spots are about 65% brighter than the factory ones

The rocker panel and the rear fender well look too much like they are separate pieces (I know they are but they shouldn't look like it) if you could make them blend together it would be an improvement.
Just my opinion, I could be wrong as my wife often reminds me.

The oversized air intake in the bumper just looks silly very "Ricer" almost Whale Shark like and molding the rear bumper cover to the 1/4 panels makes it much harder to repair repaint a rear bumper which when it gets lightly damaged turns it into respraying half the car.

I am a huge fan of widebodies, but this one isn't doing it for me. The rear end looks unfinished (as it is) I also don't like how the rockers from the front transistion into the ones coming from the rear. The nose looks a little funny too but it may look better silver. Can someone photoshop the front so that it is all silver. This way we can see what it looks like without actual labor involved. Overall I applaud your effort, that looks like a huge amount of work.

Thanks Fabio - yes it is a lot of work - it almost took a year to get it to this stage - there are two in SA at the moment one is a racecar and the other is a road car(shown)

It looks very "Shark" like. Dare I say German Mako. The forms are very organic vs machine-like. I tend to prefer more subtle mods but I'm sure that there are those who will love the overt expressiveness of your design. I look forward to watching your design evolve. Good luck!

The yellow car has changed once again but I am not ready to show it yet - I think it is a lot better than the second version, but you can be the judge of that
