got the mod. bug again. anyone want to help w/ photo shop Please?

Hello,

I've been thinking about some exterior mods for my '74.

Thinking body color wheels...maybe RSR finish instead of polished. I've got a spare set of 7s just need another pair of 9s and I can have both polished and body color.

Also thinking Porsche script on the bottom and removing the rockers and rubber trim.

Maybe even lowering the car a bit more.

f/g bumpers are a maybe at this point.

Here's a few pics to choose from for a starting point.

Anyone care to indulge me?

Son, that is a sweet car as it stands.



Ok, you asked for thoughts:

RSR finish the wheels. Remove the rocker trim and it would be extra sweet.

thanks, I think it's a sweet car as is too. With all the inspiration on this site, I think it can be even better.

I'd like to make it look a bit more purposeful, retro and raw.

Even before I read your post I saw the pic and the black bumper bellows jumped out and my eye went rigth to them. Ouch. Honestly, they are such a graphic contrast to the great color, they really stand out. hate 'em, LOL.

So, that said I would do BUMPERS! It would clean the car up SO much.....

I see very little to find fault with as it is. Love the car.
