I was hoping you'd jump in there Ben, I greatly appreciate your eye toward design, flow and sizes ! Thanks much for the responce.

The bulge is there from the alternator on the back of a flat 4 engine - it sticks way back from the engine. I thought about dropping the bumpers on the car last night before taking picture because the bumpers eliminate the bulge quite a bit from the line when installed. (Check page 1 of the thread for the effect with the bumper installed) I've seen these cars with the bumper removed and you're right - the bulge catches the eye down the back of the car - so I left them on but eliminated the 'bumperettes' (the chrome extensions). I felt the bumpers also added 'weight' to the bottom of the car line making it appear to be lower then it really is - or maybe that's just me.

Thanks again and feel free to provide any comments !

Jim
