Well I've worked out this bodykit and so far I'll need some oppinions and constructive critiscism on it. It's not finished yet so I've watermarked the kit. Anyways a preview: And a 2048x2048 transperant png download: img104.imageshack.us/img104/2895/bodykitbetabydalooniexz7.pngPlease note this is watermarked due to it not being finished.

Anybody?
This is no ectypes wannabe. It's my rendition of how the actual FZ5 car might look inspired by both Ferrari and Porsche. Ofcourse branded with my name on it.

I like the way you've brought the bodylines more visible. I'd ditch the fake vents or make something a bit more subtle and smooth to fit the car better.

The vents on the front look quite nice, but I don't think they fit the lines of the car. I really like your door handle!
It's a nice start so far

Hmm smaller more slimlined vents sound intriquing? I like the looks of them tbh, but I'll figure something out. Cheers

I think a single more curvacious vent would fit in better with the body shape

A curved vent? Hmm I'll try it out too.

I know you do not want to replicate a Ferrari, Porsche or whatever. But I think it would look nice to place the fuel lid on the front side like on some Porsches. (Because of the engine a FZ50 will always be a Porsche to me) Any vents on the back would not look unrealistic to my, because of the car being rear-engined [pastedonlightsalarm] Or maybe a 3rd brake light [/pastedonlightsalarm]

I need to check wether this car has front or rear mounted engine. I simply never thought of it. But honestly a front fuel lid just isn't going to work with this model I'm afraid. There will be no fake lights whatsoever on this car. I've made a little batch for the rear end. Only says daloonie and can be removed if wanted from final kit. Probably gonna release it in psd format. I'll release it in the near future. Hopefuly within this week or beginning of next week. But don't hold me up on this as I tend to be slow to actually do something I've made a new texture for the exhaust pipe and I'm working on a rear wind splitter at the moment.

Option 1, maybe 2 (both look realistic, however 1 is looking 'faster' then 2)
and 3 looks unrealistic to me.

3 should be angled a little and slightly improved. It looks a little fake at this point. The rounded edge is nicer that the squared lines, though.

Hmm I'll try to make a skewed version of 3 and improve it. See what I can do with it. I like 1 myself too, but people seems to dislike those vents because they're probably too big for the car. Unless it's ofcourse riced

I reckon make the number 3 vents in the position of number 1
