Re: Patrick's 7/1/2003 Concept (Patrick96LT4)
WOW Patrick,
Very professional presentation. Don't know how you and Brian mangage to be so good at Photoshop.
However, I see too much XLR in the fender line from the door back. Also, remember the muflers are inboard now so there is no need for the bulge at the outer, lower rear.
Nice Job.

The rear quarter panel line looks a little too straight, and I think the flat area will be contained to just around the taillights. Excellent work though. I've got to learn photoshop. You guys do some amazing stuff! :thumbs:

:cool: By any chance is that Machine Silver? Also, wheels are very sharp. How about a rendition (in Silver) of the front end, i.e, lights, fender bulges, etc.

That looks great, Patrick! One of the best so far! There are only a few things I might suggest:
Amber turn signals on the rear (I still believe GM's trying to cut down export costs by using one signal lens for all 'vettes).
More dip in the top, like on the C5.

Seems reasonable to me, but what do I know. Oh yeah, I know you have some serious skills in photoshop. Nice work. :cool:

Re: Patrick's 7/1/2003 Concept (BQuicksilver)
Patrick,
The 3/4 view from the top is nice, but it doesn't show the "coke bottle" effect with the middle more "pinched" than the C5. The front and rear fenders need to be more pronounced along the lines of the SS. That seems to be the running theme from Chevy styling if you look at the SS and the SSR. The fenders shouldn't look like pontoons, but they should definitely bulge out almost seamlessly leading to the edge of the tires. Some of the
concepts from the early sixties would carry this theme which then led up to the C3 shark. And its been stated several times that the "shark" will have an influence on the the C6 especially in the area of the wheels.

Patrick,
Try using one of the spy pics that accentuates the front wheel opening flare. Its the side view taken in Colorado I think. The spy pic taken at the motel parking lot from the 2nd floor also shows that.

I did the wheel opening flare... but it's not very noticable in the pic. I will work on another one down the road that'll have some improvements. :thumbs: Thanks for all the nice compliments!
