Rear valence treatment

Been thinking about upgrading the rear valence, so I Photoshop modified the rear of my Teal 92. I was thinking a filler panel would cover the swoop inward back there.

I like it!! One thing though, I'd leave the exhaust holes alone so that different tips could be used.. Just a thought

Why you call that an 'upgrade' is beyond me. I'll submit that not everybody is going to have the same adverse reaction that I do, but it is purely aesthetic in nature. As aesthetics is a subjective matter, I don't see how you can call it an 'upgrade.'

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go and 'upgrade' some mountains I drew last week. :P

I think it would definitely look better solid, and not with the holes all over it..

I think I would like 2 Long holes in which you could put mesh of some kind.

I officially retract the word "upgrade". I probably really meant update, but since that word is subjective, I'll say "change". I noticed you didn't say you didn't like it, but maybe that is implied in "adverse reaction".

This is kinda what I'm talking about with the 2 long openings. This bumper is on my buddy's 3-series and I absolutely LOVE it

I like this bumper. It's on my wife's husband's SVX. Looks like it was made for it.

Thanks to Steve Wasion for that photo. One doesn't usually admire a car from that angle, but, it's just proof that the SVX can be admired from ANY angle.

I MISS MY CAR!!! WAHHHHH!! WAAHHHHH! *SNUB, SNUB* WAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Oooh, Randy. I'm sorry. I am so so so so sorry. I saw your car in front of that farm backdrop and...and...I just couldn't help myself.

I'm SOOOO sorry I only had two minutes and didn't do a good job, but I have to go home and I HAD to do this.

I hope we can still be friends.

Maybe I can get a job as a Gateway Computer delivery person.



Yes, we're still friends, Nick. Only because I know that we totally freakin' warped people have to stick together. Otherwise, we have no friends.
