That's a good question... Lots of ideas but nothing is final. I'm going to play around in Photoshop to help make the decision. I'll put them up
Is it too late to dial down the front lip, that things going to be scraping everywhere. Carbon fiber rear diffuser?

Some amazing work, and love the interior. But after seeing that grille, I can't under it as looking a bit like a custom Chrysler Crossfire :hide: .
So what has been done performance wise?
The customer intending it as a show car or drivers car?

Thought long and hard about venting the hood but decided not to, for now..

Carbon front lip and diffuser for sure. The lip was added to help protect the bumper from inevitable scraping.

It will absolutley be a driver and occasionally tracked. Probably put it in a few shows this summer, but it's off to it's home in France late fall. We did the following performance work,
Lingenfelter 650 hp kit
Lingenfelter ported snout
American Racing headers
Corsa touring cat-back
Custom dyno tune
KW V3 coilovers
D3 sway bars
Brembo GT front and rear brakes
HRE 593's 20x10 front, 20x12 rear
Michelin Pilot SS 275/30ZR20 front, 335/30ZR20 rear

No, our original intent was to build a wide body V. Obviously we've gone way beyond the original scope.
The interior is AWESOME. WINNING!
The exterior, you've lost me. The whole point of the 2G V is that "get out of my way", angular, badassed look. The intended design here simply no longer looks like a Cadillac. The rear lights appear as if from a GT-R, the side an Audi R8, and the front is, and I have to agree with others here, from a Chrysler Crossfire. It's a melange of different motifs that don't completely flow together, at least to me. I personally would have stopped with wider wheel arches, which give the V Coupe even more road presence than it already has. This is, of course, IMHO.
I'll probably feel different once it's got paint on it and it's in decent light, though. I'm really interested in how this custom exterior turns out.

Finally getting around to posting photos of the final product for anyone who has been wondering what happened. My client issued a gag order until an article was published about the car. While some of my clients design choices aren't what I would have done, I'm still very proud of how it turned out. Looking forward to hearing what others think of what I'm pretty confident is the wildest CTS-V on the planet.
