flat rear bumper delete photoshop request

anyone ever flatten out the rear bumper to be flush with the tail lights?

kind of a mix between this



and this



I think I'm going to experiment with my 20B car and see how it looks. Would be sweet if someone could make it happen with photoshop first though.

i think doing a corvette look on an fc would look sick. maybe a full body kit the deletes the turn signal and has modified brackets for corvette lights. that would be expensive thought and maybe to much work and money. just my 2 cents

pull off your rear bumper
get cardboard and paint it red
stick it on the car and tell me what you think.

honestly, its gonna look shitty as **** but then again ive never seen it done before. if you wanna do it, by all means do it.

I did a terrible job at photoshopping but I tried. You'd likely have to remove the rubstrip to make it look half decent.

The rubstrip is so integral to the overall design I can't see how it could be removed.
Where would you terminate it so it didn't look like it just randomly stopped?

I think this looks great. better thanthe original already.

I didnt mean literally a Corvette rear. but thanks anyway.

also I'm not sure what I would do about the molding. maybe get rid of it all together and smooth the body panels.

That looks terrible.
The mold lines really break up what is essentially a pretty boring body design, without them the FC looks bland and fat.

I agree with you on a car with completely stock body lines.

Doesn't look so bad on this car IMO. This is the widebody I intend to run.



Surprisingly the fact that there is molding on the front bumper and not on the sides doesn't even bother me,

Roll pan mod... I don't care for it. It's not a pickup. Definitely don't do it and drift.

Welcome for the pixelmator chop (thats right, **** adobe).
