The car looks very slab sided. You should leave the line where the rear bumper attaches. Every car has a separate rear bumper, so it doesn't look out of place. Same goes for the front end. Also, you should leave the crease at the bottom of the door intact, including where it sweeps up on the rear quarter. But side skirts molded to the front fender and rear quarter looks much better. Oh, and un-Photoshop those Godawful taillights.

I didn't try to kill the hood lines in that pic
Actually I was thinking about doing that and having the whole Fenders front bumper and hood lift up like a Dodge viper or something.

WARNING!! Molding the front bumper to your fenders isn't the best idea. It looks cool and all, but can crack easily. Imagine hitting your front bumper on something. Normally you would have to jsut get that fixed, but now you have to fix the fender because it got messed up, and cracked where it was molded to the front bumper. Most bodyshops will try and talk you out of it. Make sure if you have it done, that you take it to a REALLY good shop. Good luck. :thumbup:

It's cool I prolly won't get the bumpers molded I know about all that and it is a bitch plus I'm gonna get a Turbo NE way and it'll be easier to install the I-Cooler W/O the bumper molded.

Man, You have one of the best looking Celi's here if not the best looking Celi. But molding it for some reason just doesnt seem right. Yota is right what if something cracks. You would be screwed man.

i would just mod side skirts to the rest of the body.... looks strange to me without door handles.. looks empty to me... but its a photoshop job... in real life it may look better or may not.... but hey its ur car..... u obviously have good taste so i guess whatever u choose should be alrite...
props on ur car.... (so far) geez some people never get satisfied :rolleyes: :D

dont mold anything!! thats just my opinion and you may wanna change something later cuz im already planning a makeover on my car (http://www.ringling.edu/~plewis/puckyMandM.jpg). but especially do not mold the front bumper... i learned the hard way but it was easily fixable. if you plan on installing a turbo you're prolly gonna wanna run at the track so you might not want to shave your door handles. i know the tracks around here dont let you run if shaved door handles but it may be different where you are. good luck! beautiful car!

That is the C-One style wing, also known as the Tie-Fighter wing. You can get it from TRD-GT. He sells them for like $325 shipped and the quality is good.
