Default Custom Front End

Check out this Vette on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ayphotohosting



Anybody know if this front end is still available anywhere?

Also like the rear. :D

The front end was bonded on....I can't see a seam, so that is my best guess. Chances are that this is a one of a kind piece. With the work done on the rear and the bonding, it seems that someone took the time to do some custom mods from scratch. I wonder if the bumper supports are still there. Otherwise, a minor mishap could result in some serious damage. IMHO, it looks very nice. But then again, I love doing custom jobs. It looks real sweet!

Not exactly my cup of tea but it looks like someone took their time and did a nice clean job modding it. Curious what it will fetch ,so in the watch file it went.

Maybe its just me but it looks like a 67-68 pontiac firebird nose. I wouldn't be surprised if thats what was used as a mold somehow.

Looks to me like someone got creative with PhotoShop or something. Check out the glare down the seams...

I agree on the photoshop suggestion... same problem on the rear end... especially on the far left side of the rear.

Glare is from the lights, don't think they added it to all the vehicles in the first pic.
