Decided to get creative... new mods..

[Runaboveit]

Details:
Flat black filled in olds logo

Mesh grille painted flat black and fog lights cut out so they aren't covered by it.

Added chrome trimming in the fog light wells and the bottom center thing.. then covered with a silver mesh. (can kinda see the texure in second pic)

Unfortunately the grille in the fog light areas don't come out too well in the pics since its black.

(I haven't installed the grille behind the center bottom part yet..)


Anyway,

I like it, it's different and I've always been a fan of subtle mods that could pass for stock


Next, I'm going to tape off the part with the purple arrow below, and do a gradual black fade to the left of it so the grill area looks larger. I photoshopped the side with the purple arrow already.. see hows its darker on that side..



Anyway, thats what I did today.. what do you guys think?

Love it. Want it. Looks good man!

Looks good. You should paint your headlight bezels to match with the black/red theme.

Thanks.. I thought about doing the headlight bezels and mocked up a photoshop.. but I like the stock lights.. when they are painted.. imo.. it doesn't look as modern. I wouldn't mind retrofitting projectors though.. I think that would look pretty cool.. not to mention the much better lighting..

what chrome trim did you use?

I think the flat black hood makes you looks like every other ricer out there.

Looks good man. I like it. Is there a reason your parked in a handicap spot though?

reminds me of a grand prix. i know some of the special editions had that part of the bumper painted silver. i like it tho, keep up the good work.

i was thinking the chrome trim in foglight mod as well, liek a ford fusion/saab 9-3 look. just never knew where to get a trimable section of chrome like that.
