Re: Front Look Design Update
The cloud city pic, (just above...) is not bad.
I kinda wish it didn't cut upward into the bumper-beam area so much. Such a tall opening interrupts a very wide, slim aesthetic. If they had kept the bumper area across the car, and kept the slits through the bumper beam area, like the stock bumper cover, that might look better.
I do like the way they smoothed the transition, and the chin spoiler area under the bumper.
And I know our new member from Japan mentioned that he fabricated a way to fit a Skyline GT-R like grille to the SVX... that seems like a good idea to me.
Something very thin. Something that makes a lining above the top of the front bumper cover, and along the inside edges of the headlight assemblies... but as thin as possible, and then a couple of similarly thin slat louvers in the opening. That might be very cool.
To get really interesting, the louvers could be somewhat widely spaced at the sides of the grille, and get lower, and closer together in the center, and approximate the "waterfall" shape of the SVX's original waterfall grille.
