Re: You guys think this may look good??

Looks like a post 2005 GTO, I like it. Almost any well styled sports car has a similar look. Think Ferrari F430, Audi RS4, BMW M3,last generation BMW M5... I have always wanted to change my back end to make it more distinctive, I think I'll do that. I personally think that all of those cars look far 'sportier' than the V because of visual cues such as the matted black exhaust insert. Just my $.02.

Sweet! Free mod for us black raven guys!

Of course, some drunk chick tried to get me started on this mod by slamming me from behind last St. Patrick's day. Which is why I ain't goin' out this Saturday night.

Re: You guys think this may look good??

I think it makes the car look higher off the ground. Some people paint their black side skirts to give the car a lower appearance, this is just the opposite.

Also, I'm no artist, but if I was to do it, I would only black out from the curved section down (about 2/3's up the pipe tip),
I wouldnt black out any panel that is flat. Does that make any sense? I think it will look weird if it ends color abruptly, but not surface.
Ok, I need to get more ethanol* and coke now.


*grain alcohol now... cant get the 200proof any more

Re: You guys think this may look good??

I think the great thing about the CTS (V-6's too) is the aggressive yet simple styling. Add anything to it, and you take away from the subtlety of the car.

I agree with roadracerx72 and a majority of the comments. Stickers will only cheapen the V. The photoshop'd pic does & will most likely make it look higher. One way it may look good...is if it were a whole seperate lower piece altogether like what appears in the sts pic. Is that the D3? Anyhow, my suggestion is to leave the already beefy looking bumper as is.

Re: You guys think this may look good??

I don't think that just painting or a vinyl graphic would work right. If someone would make a replacement rear valance in flat black or carbon fiber, it might be hot.

Re: You guys think this may look good??

It's your V, you have to like it. My silver V stays the way I got it.
But thats my opinion and you know what they say about opinions.

It seems everyone is trying to be a little blacker.
It is faster.
