Wow thats great looking. You have a amazing talent for fabrication.
i dont think they should kinda flow lol there prolly the most important part lol
lets get some better front corner pics with the new bumper on there
here it is..kinda blurry but you get the ideaOriginally Posted by ghettogeddy

200+ ALL MOTOR LS VTEC
Nice work as alwaysNot feeling the vent though.
^^ x2 I like it, but unless the vent is functional for cooling the brakes not exactly my thing.
Lostforawhile:we have to pick on him he's CAH he spray painted himself into this corner with the accord.
belive me i kept alot of things in mind...but in order to have a functional vent i would have to cut a piece of the body out...and theres no way i was gonna do that.
so it could be usable if someone wanted it to be?belive me i kept alot of things in mind...but in order to have a functional vent i would have to cut a piece of the body out...and theres no way i was gonna do that
i think so...but waaay too much work for me
Ah I knew this was going to happen sometime. This is looking promising! As the others have stated I agree with the vent(although I personally like to keep things simple). I would rather just see it flow naturally into a flare sort of what you have on going with the front part.
Can't wait to see some more progress!
:edit:
I just checked out thegreatdane's thread with his side skirts there, and that is pretty much what I was talking about for the rear part of the flare.

Man that's badass! I bow to your mad fiberglass skills. Personally, I'd have a better chance of buying it without the vent (not that I have a 3gee to put it on anyways). Overall I really like it! But you'll probably find a half-and-half depending on people's tastes. If you were going to run your exhaust out that vent, that would be sweet too! Side pipes!!!
I dunno how hard mocking up is, but you could potentially make both and see which you like the most. I think you've got a pretty decent market for people buying that stuff from you. Maybe produce 2 different sets to sell more.
Looking good, I am not feeling the little fake-vent deal at all though. I think you should ditch that idea and leave it as a simple extension of the body line(just me though, they still look sick
Nice work as always. Hell at the rate your going, you will have a full custom body kit by the end of the year. Yes I to have to say as well that im not real hip to the vent.

Once you're down with this you can make some good $$ by making kits for everyone.

i know i want one,but will have to work in my airplane wing tip lights sidemarkers somehow.
now the vents could be used to hide some LED sidemarker,turn signal lights, totally hidden unless on. now thats where the plutonium vents after travelling through time correct? LOL j/k looks great.

i like it, mad props to you for doing what you're doing. I'm in the same boat with the other guys about the vent, but I have to admit, that at least you did design an angular style instead of some swoopy thing that doesn't fit with the lines of the car.
I'm personally not a big fan of skirts that go up to meet the moldings, but I do see your point about it being a better match with the flow of the front bumper. Once it all comes together, I think it'll look so friggin sweet.

I have to ask. Are you going to fab a peice for the door or are you going as it is?
Remeber boys and girls Coupes rule, Hatchies drule, and 4 doors are for mothers..........
no im not going to fab a piece for the door...its staying as it is.
not doing lips...atleast not right now..maybe in the future.
god damn. lookin soo sexy.
like everyone is sayin, vent isnt that good looking, but it still is super sexy.
p.s. make a front bumper wit out the dip in the middle!! hehe.....
