man...you got a gem there....its going to draw lots of attention...some bad I am sure too, but i really like it.

When I started my C4 front clip I had thoughts of marketing it maybe you could do the same.

I would post some pics, but its still to early and too rough

It's shadowed pretty good but there are two spoilers down there that will get remade the same way and polished.They are vital to gettin air up under the lowered nose.

It's cool I know all about rough.I have been raked over the coals for it to only to have them come back and say that they liked where it's going.It's hard to project the picture of where it's going into someone elses head.They always look worse before they get better.I would still like to see it.The in process is the best part for me.

that is really starting to grow on me big time...I really like the look and if you keep going in the right direction for a modded vette body that baby will look very nice when completed with fresh paint/level suspension/wheels filling out the fender flares/etc.

Ohhhhh yeah, I like it very much.....
That's definitely something I would consider buying if it was a kit of some sort - nicely thought out!
It looks like a lotta work, but you can be really proud of what you've done -

Love that look! I bet you'd make some money off of making hood/scoops like that! Hell, I'd buy one!

I Like it too... though if those spoilers are diamond plate I'd swap that out for something smooth - the diamond plate gives it an unattractive "utility" feel IMO. - polished aluminum or stainless steel would be better... or maybe even Carbon fiber.

Keep up the good work

They are smooth.(No diamond plate)They have a machined swirl finnish(pollished) to them.They will get remade anyway,as one got tweaked on a trailer mishap.They match the vent covers in the cowl and deck.(Diamond plate is good on running boards and truck boxes ,but never on a vette.)
