ttocs Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 I think I have a sickness. Now that I shaved/relocated the trunk key hole, smoothed the license plate frame and the S281 in I can't help but wonder what will be next?1.) The gas door? I am going to do a full trunk for the stereo anyway so it would not be hard to move the filler to it and possibly put it behind a trap door to hide it. 2.) Smooth the rear brake vents? I thought I saw this on a different car and didn't like it but can't remember why. I would not cover them up but simply smooth the join lines between them like I did the license plate frame so it all looks like one piece. Finally on the paint I am not sure.... My original plan was to paint the rear tail lights and the area in between them with a candy-black paint. I think with the spoiler smoothed in it will look like a cool shadow effect but for some reason I am just not sure. Opinions please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiplash473 Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 There's always the debadge option if your looking for something to do. Sent from bored/stroked iPhone 4S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 if you were to shave the fake brake vents imo you would need to do allot of body work and completely get rid of the whole body line leading up to the vent. i think thats what makes that exterior mod look a tad off is that the side leads up to the vent then with it gone you either have a sharp dead end or a strange bowl like shape. so it would have to be gone completely imo. doors and front fender body line all gone. i'll chop something real quick to help make sense of what i'm trying to say, lol.

Tony Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 maybe scotts side exhaust skirts would help the cause. but yea...its not too bad really. allot of work though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 its not even the side skirts, it's just a very large area with no contrast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Reminds me of this.haha, i thought that too. or even a cavalier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiplash473 Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Yes! Cavalier is what it's reminding me of, been trying to figure that out. I'm sure it's just the angle though. Might look great from the side. Sent from bored/stroked iPhone 4S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttocs Posted September 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 That is interesting but not what I meant, sorry. I meant just shave the bezel/joint where it goes into the fender so it all looks like one piece. maybe this pic would work to help. I want to keep the vent there just make it a smooth transition from the fender to the hole. - - - Updated - - -keeps telling me the files are too big. I am sure you can find a pic that would be good to use in my gallery. http://www.cardomain.com/usernew/galleries/edit.aspx?id=453798 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiplash473 Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 I know what you mean. Just a word of advice - if you venture into that, be sure to rust proof everything inside there. And fix any surface rust you see. Sent from bored/stroked iPhone 4S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttocs Posted September 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 that sounds like horrible advice! I know I treated the inside of that panel with a rust preventative/rubberized undercoating spray so some primer on this side and I should be good. Had not thought about it though so thanks for reminding me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solar Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 For the SN95, I would just rather open up the side vents. Debadging is another good option I have been thinking about for my new edge. But for my newedge, I have been thinking of removing the fake side scoop and smoothing it out. Not like removing lines or anything, just give that lines like the original mustangs or the sides of the S197 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had not thought about it though so thanks for reminding me.Good thinking, I figured I'd throw that out there because as I'm sure you know - once you seal that up there's pretty much no getting in there.
