How many would you need to make to justify doing it?

  What I would like Norm to make is finders like the Sky that would fit the Solstice, and where you could use the Sky doors.

Hrm this design is interesting. Not sure if I like it or not, but I have a Sky so it doesn't matter.

Looks like the perfect candidate for a small cameo part in the next Cars animated movie.

That front end would look nice with fog or running lights in the corners of the grill.

I've never been a fan of the chipmunk grilles. This is the best design I could muster with minimal changes to the original.

Anyone knows how to work photoshop as to make it green and white? I'd love to see this bodykit in those colours! To be honest, this imaginary body kit comes from the British version of kappas, the Breckland Beira. The artist who made this photo work is Brian Spilner. Just type in google photos ''brianspilner'' and you'll get an idea, the guy is amazing! Also found this

Norm,

     For those whose States require a front plate, is there any way to incorporate an inset that doens't ruin the overall look.  I wonder if it could be conformal on the smooth rounding on either side.  Maybe have it a quarter inch inset so that it looks flush. 

     Anybody with photoshop skills wanna help out?

Norm Pm me if it is something you might consider. #of pre orders to be worthwhile etc. I guess I look into building a prototype  locally while you ponder it.

I've wanted Kappasphere to make something like that for years now.  One of their old employees drew this and I thought it was about a perfect blend.




Definitely tweaked a little but maybe a collaborative or sponsored project :-D

What kind of finances(how much) would be needed for such a project to get started?

Most important of all, to be realized?

For both NA and GXP's.
