I can't judge - the eyeballs in the grill won't stop staring at me!

Front end looks a little busy for me.  I like the hood itself, I think.  I think they car would look a lot better without the grille lights and the license plate.  Other than that, it's one sharp car.  Just my $0.02.

Diggin the projectors. Not so much the WS6 Nostrils. Too much curvature for our cars. The lights in the grill, meh. Still too busy. Just the headlights and maybe the grill black and tint the grill lights. The hood is idk. Undescribable.

You can buy them off of ebay. Black or chrome housings with the projector centers.

My initial thoughts were that I didn't like it, but when you get to know Bear, it all comes together. For some reason, the car isn't complete when you don't know Bear.

Sounds odd, but for those of you that have met him and know him, you'd understand.

All that hood needs is a reason for existence... like, say, a 600-cubic-inch monster big block hiding under it :hick:

Oh, wait... convertible... can we say "corkscrew"? :p

Not sure what to say about the hood... Its different atleast. The grill has to go. overall i think it will turn out great in the end.

OK...how do I respond to this...?

a) "That's not what SHE said."
b) "My hood has no air extractor function, although I am now using it for clearance with the tall valve covers and intake spacer. So in this respect your hood is more usable for air exchange."

Think I'll go with a). :flip:

Okay it looks okay but nneeds to be on a coupe more than a vert and it might look a litlte bit better on a T-Bird if you add a spoiler to even out the WS6 hood and it might also look better on a darker color car.

The lights are okay but i think the should be mounted behind the grill to hide them even if that blocks some of the light.

What the hell do i know about car design? but as far as the work goes to make the hood looks like it was well made.

I think the front of the car looks like there's a LOT going on.It's really weighted down with "stuff",but on the other hand,it certainly has that Pontiac feel about it..As a convertible,I would think the car needs to be "smoother".I like the convertibles though.

once the grill is gone it will look much better
