i think the right vent needs a little work adn i know teh rear wheel is supposed to be deep but i think it looks a little funky

I think that is a good start on the FB...I like the concept, though I think the middle portion should still be tied together, maybe not flush to the bottom of those inner "hoops" but offset it up like a couple inches perspectively. That make sense?

I noticed that the front bumper has some lines through it on the body work. Also, It seemed like your left vent is slightly curved to flow iwth the lines more and it seems like the right doesnt flow as well

^^ hahahahhahaa

ok well heres another update, slowly tryin to trim up this bumper a bit, what do you guys think of the vent idea? i'd do it on both sides but im not sure if somthin like that would suit the car, and i know the 'slices' aren't all the same size that was just a quick sketch..

rice_eater
02-08-2008, 09:11 AM
lol socal:D

Yeah steve I think a vent like that in the hood would fit quite nicely, as long as you make it follow the line of the hood instead of straight like it is now. Still seems like the bumper needs some refining on the d/s...with it coming around like that you should see an inside edge to the opening on the far right side. Coming along nicely though.

steveabbott
02-08-2008, 09:13 AM
haha im not understanding you again...

what inside edge?
sorry man im kinad out've it right now

rice_eater
02-08-2008, 09:40 AM
Kinda like this I guess...the far right opening, just needs a return for some perspective.

Maybe I need to type slower so you can understand it.:D

02-08-2008, 10:20 AM
oh ok thanks man i gotcha now, looks better, updated first post, this is sad theres barley any activity in between my updates haha

but first page is a new update, tryed a quick side vent, fixed up the light covers, tryed messing with the grill no ideas tho what to do to it.. fixed up that edge luke was talkin bout.. i dunno any ideas of what to add would be sweet!

02-08-2008, 10:26 AM

rice_eater
02-08-2008, 10:57 AM
lol...guess I need to do something besides my MS paint suggestions on your wip...

but here's what I'd suggest...instead of headlight covers it would look mean with eyelids that match the hood line. Stick with your original hood vent idea, then maybe a wide low profile roof scoop/vent/whatever the hell its called.

steveabbott
02-08-2008, 10:59 AM
well i am really not a fan of roof scoops, but i might give it a try.. i'll see what they covers look like just eyelids too i suppose i never tryed that haha im diggin the covers tho.. and i guess i could try that hood now, im not goin to school this aft either.. so i got 4 hours till stupid work.. haha

any suggestions on what i should try for the grill? im thinin that would be just too much mesh if i went mesh, and what you think about that side vent

rice_eater
02-08-2008, 11:23 AM
Yeah I'm not a big fan of roof scoops either, but I think it might look decent on that /shrug...worth a try its just another layer:D. I think the side vent looks pretty decent, could use a slightly more defined edge where the shadow hits the body though.

And I dont think the covers look bad, just thought the eyelids had a slightly different aggressive look. Maybe under the eyelids have halo projectors or something instead of the lights that were there.

Looks good...more than I can say for me...hell I havent even chopped anything since the fiat[&:] just cant get myself to do it.


**Edit: and I dunno about the grille, that would be a lot of mesh. But I do think you need a FMIC to fill the holes in that bumper

steveabbott
02-08-2008, 11:30 AM
yeah i deffinitly need a intercooler for the bump.. i can't find a good high res one tho.. damnit hahaha and i tryed that eyelids, i just like the covers better for some reason hahaha... and i'm almost ready for a nother update, this is crazy ahhaha

GReddy_Civic
02-08-2008, 11:39 AM
get a life steve! you need to do the contest! im still workin on mine. slowly. I think a grill like in this link would be yum for that. http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c394/jay3151/DSC00167.jpg

steveabbott
02-08-2008, 12:20 PM
hmm yeah somethin like that may look cool i'll give it a try

02-09-2008, 07:51 AM
Well you want the hood grill the match the bumper vents, so I'd say if anything just some black honeycomb or mesh, because that bumper doesn't look like it should have mesh in it.

steveabbott
02-09-2008, 09:16 AM
well the bumper will have a fmic when i find one and fog lights im planning

Steve this is a really nice chop, there are little things that are keeping this chop from being advanced.

It's just a critique, not tryin to be a d*ck.

02-09-2008, 07:36 PM
haha wow thanks for the time man!

yeah i agree totally with all of that, the door scoop is gone entirely
i am still lookin for a fmic for the front too

and yeah i see the tooniness now from those dark black lines i'ma pixel them down a notch or two
this chops on the backburner for the moment as of today, i got 3 other comps on the go [:'(] hahaha
but yeah thanks for the helpfulnes man!

Socal might have pointed this out, but darken the left side of the bumper, looks too bright. Other than that, sweet brushing skillz man.
