PHOTOSHOP-Please help out?

Hey allyou designers, I wanted to see if somebody out there could help me get an idea of how my SC will look with the 3.8 RS rear spoiler on it?

have a better pic? This is a tough angle and loads of background in the way. Better would be more sky behind the tail or even a blank white wall.

Looks like the first thing you need is a chin spoiler.
There are plenty of threads here on the dangers of running a tail with no chin spoiler.

so the 3.8 tail would not look correct on the car...it needs turbo flares in my opinion.

I agree.
The 3.8 tail would look sort of "ricer-like" on a non-flared car.
Just my opinion though.

To each his own, but I would stick with the tail you have.

I must stop you!
Do not put the 3.8 tail on unless you can back it up with turbo flares! It will be Gay. Sorry.

I stand corrected, sort of. I still think it needs to be wide. My opinion.
That car does look nice other than the lower rear. But notice the updated bumpers and skirts as well as the mirrors? And after all that money spent, it still needs to be wide.

yup yup I know, this is one of those things that can really add up./ I've ordered the front bumper, the RS spoiler, and the H4 lights. I will still do the rear bumper and maybe side skirts, but I will lower it first. then probably update the mirrors. I just really am loking for that aggressive porsche car look that looks like it is going 130 MPH while it's parked

We al have our own opinions for sure here... but thats what makes them all unique i think. Thanks gosh that somebody had teh idea to try something different initially, otherwise all of our cars would still look like an upsidedown sink with Fuchs !!
