looking at the pics more, you need to change your idea for the OEM fronts, they really dont flow that well on the 94-5 bumper IMO.
the SSIII's wont really work either, they are too small to match the line of the skirts.


well i've already purchased the OEM extensions plus I think thats the best option since i'm a daily driver who's lowered.. the 404 lip kit was too low, I don't want to go with a complete bumper like C-One or Invader.. and don't want to pay for a GT4 and hood..

what is everyone else thinking of the Extensions on my car?

I agree with manny about the front end extensions. the flow seems off and looks high of the ground in those pictures. Choose what you feel looks great and be happy with something you like instead of what others like. my two cents lol

I just think the combo of the TRD splitters and the side skirts you have on there don't match up real well. Individually, those parts look great, but together... it's only b/c the side skirts don't flow with the body of the car as well as the splitters imo.

i gotta disagree with presure and tjblacrosse, trd splitters look fine on a 94-95 bumper
that's what they were made for, presure modified his to fit the gt-four front

Why not go with wut u have now but when u get it painted make the grafic slightly lighter than the paint. U know kind of opeyic. I think that would be pretty sweet.

I did think about that cuz I do like how the current graphic looks.. but I change my taste soo often I'm not sure i'll like it i the future... Since this will be my "official" paint I want to make sure I take my time deciding on what to do and what will look good..

I do think I may go with my favorite graphic, a custom "Truth Shark"

original:
I do have it on my hood:

thoughts?

IMO the "truth/shark" thing looks dumb, it would just turn people off. I would stick with the cross on the side with the lines. That was the best look you've had yet. keep it classic, simple, subtle, and eye catching.

The splitters look fine, I just think the PS was a bit off. I would rock them if I were you.

If you could ghost in the cross design using some light pearl color that would be cool. Think about it, the car in silver, then the design in a bit darker silver/grey metallic ghosted shade would be nice and unique.

IDK, I like it with the ghost look I think that has been my fav.
The only thing is I think the black hood is adding in to many different colors.

I think it might look better or classier with a silver hood to match the car.

A big +1.

The flat black hood just makes it look like an unfinished project car. Would look much cleaner if it were colour-matched.
