The customer is the one who came to us to build what he wants. Depending on the project, we have varying levels of input as to what the final product is. We choose to open these builds up on here so others can possibly benefit from seeing the 'how' or be inspired by seeing what is involved and goes into these type of builds. This isn't market research. Bottom line is the customer is the one who we are aiming to please.

Secondly, again, we welcome opinion, but lets keep this on point. This is a thread about the Camaro, yet here we are discussing your personal opinions about a completely different car. There is a time and a place...this is neither.

Perfect response.

Yep, I said that when he first asked his question about "why..." But, he still didn't get the point undoubtedly. Secondly, where there is a need and a market for companies will produce. JB400' if you're a Charger owner, you should know this already...that the Mopar market simply isn't there yet. It's just truth in the matter. Regardless of how many hundreds of thousands of owners may be out there. Moreover, do you have any idea of how much time, R&D, money and trial and era that would have into a part to just hope someone buys it or to only sell a few here and there. Lastly, maybe not you, but the Mopar guys are so uptight about keeping a car in its stock, truest form it's almost sickening to hear a bunch of grown men crying about what another man did with his own car and money. Think not? Just look at how many guys panties got in a wad when JCG put an LS motor in the Challenger.

I like the rear bumper, I wish I can do something like that but not a metal shaper. I will try to find a local guy that can do something similar

And back to our scheduled programming....
As part of the front end refresh, we wanted to do something a little different with the windows in the sliding headlight doors. We sourced translucent smoked gray acrylic so the lights could still be seen through and machined the pieces to fit with some fresh styling.

I really enjoy this car. Its got "a lot" going on BUT its suttle and simple and requires a good look to really grasp all of it. Thats my favorite type of build.

Im realatively new here(maybe i should start an intro thread?) but i think i will just leave a short comment reguarding what has been going on in this thread.

To me, a car is nothing other then a reflection of yourself. You have yourself or a shop do what you like to it. Sure shops help with insight and what not but the end result is always the car that you want. Weather that be a sleek simple clean build to something extremely radical or something with goofy colors that maybe only a handful of people will like.

Bottom line is that if that customer gets the car of their dreams when its said and done, that is the ONLY person that has to be happy with it. The shops are just here to aid and help in ones dreams.

Carry on with the thread. I love the fact you guys show whats under it all.

Although, I love every aspect of this car from the color to the custom splitter, what very small detail I love the most is the two-toned bumper. I love how the contoured lines of both bumpers splits the black paint from the white paint. That is so cool. To me, that small detail gives the illusion that the front grill and tail are larger than they really are. When in reality, it is just the black paint extends onto the bumpers.

What do you guys make splitters from? Aluminite, carbon, fiberglass, abs, etc?
