Woohoo!! Starting to resemble a car again!!




Adam and Nathan modified the front valence to make it flow better with the custom hood they also built per Dan's design. Knowledgeable 1st gen eyes will notice that the center hump in the valence is gone.





We need to decide what color to paint the grill before Nathan starts spraying colors. We're torn between black for the more sinister look and titanium to match the Forgeline centers.

Tough decision even with the aid of renderings.

Black Grille:



Titanium Grille:

Titanium Grille for sure, its such a nice grille to lose the details in all the black. Project is coming out great.

I vote black to go with the other accessories of the car. Both, hockey and hood stripes are black, the lower, front valance is black and the hood vent is black. I just think it would all match better. The titanium wheels would be just the perfect touch to not have too much black.

Hmmm........I'd match the grille to the wheels. Either rendition looks great, though my personal preference is leaning to the darker grille as it fits the overall scheme.

Subtle twist: Orange door handles (like the mirrors) with black anodised push buttons?
