Sketch looks good, project should be a fun one. ... Would you do custom illustrations of a members car?
Thanks, yea I'd love to do custom illustrations...this one was maybe 8 hrs, but I cut alot of corners and it's good for a sketch, but still a little janksey...figuring out an affordable price point is the tricky part...but I'm in so far over my head with this project that I'll trade for skills.

I like the overall idea but i think the sharp edges make it look too much like a "ricer" body kit.
If you softened those edges a bit, more like a GT3 front-end for example, i think it would look better.
RICER?!?
actually I thought the same thing when I was drawing it
It is a little bit too fast and furious, however...it will have a ricer engine.
It could do with some rounded edges...a middle ground between this and a GT3 is a good idea.

Looks like an updated 916 style front bumper. Just take your time and walk away and think about it for a while before you let frustration take ahold of you.
once it's time for the wiring I may be doing alot of walking away, just hopefully not for good.

The 80s called, they want thier front bumper design back...
"Ya! Ya... well the jerk store called and they want their jerk back"
Sienfield...couldn't help it!
The best would be if I also added the porsch-arossa rear end kit. That would be totally 80's

Love the style of the drawing. I think the headlight, hood air exit, and flares look great. But I agree that 914's don't look great with a big ol' nose.
...I realized I'd need to somehow search their whole site.
POST A LINK!
Oh, and PM me a price for a custom illustration of my car.
http://councilc.imagekind.com/carsI want it to keep the 75 bumper base shape on top and side, but open for the radiator, brake vents, 2 parts with lower valance and serving as a front spoiler for the downforce... I like the GT3 critique from earlier
