I like it a lot.

The exhaust in white stands out a little too much for me, but if it's done in stainless the natural patina over time would be purrrrfect. Black anodize the rear spoiler hinge while you're at it.

Looking forward to Rob's comments.

Thanks Dale. I agree and the lower front spoiler will help too.

For some reason, it just has a nice ring to it.
Payoff... as in paid someone off to get on the Mod Squad?

Exhaust is already white and I like how it (the color) balances with the whites stripe top to bottom, and the black colors balance front to rear. That was my idea anyway and I think it works. I do like the patina idea though.

Oh, and the rear spoiler will be all black. Shawn could only tolerate so many of my changes before just dumping the final render on me as it stood.

It's still early in the game and it never hurts to throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks. Again........I LIKE IT! It's a Gunfighter

I'll assume you meant STRIPES? From my perspective there's too much distance between the stripe and exhaust which interrupts the flow of the eye. White flares would be interesting to see, not the look he's going for but interesting. The patina'd stainless exhaust outlet would blend with the rotors. Look at the top rendering angle where the white isn't as prevalent vs the bottom. As said still early and I like where he's going with it..........fits the owner very well IMO.

Dogs walked at 7:15, valves are fine, truck service and semi-detailed.................

The rendering looks great! If you can bring that to life, you will have a real bruiser. What is the 56 car you posted? It looks like a Pantera, but it doesn't have a quarter window and the front bumper is throwing me off. That is a cool car.

I really like it. My only thought is that the exhaust is so long. Is that proportionally correct? I think if it were a little shorter in actuality that it wouldn't be so distracting.

My car is going to end up looking very similar to this, depending on the wheel selection at the end of the day!
