well, its your call, but I personally think it is ugly, ruins the flow of the front end, but take it or leave it

I don't think it's legal actually. IIRC, you have to have front/corner turn signals.

I'm usually for a shave... but thats way too prelude-ish. I say its a no go, but its up to you.

I think the only way it would look good is if it was then molded to the bumper.

I think you just want something different then your average cavalier, I drew something like below for my buddy he did it looked killer then he wrecked his car

somthing like that doesnt look so bad. keeps the shape of the front end right, but makes it alot more aggressive looking

That looks really great Stealthfire, but what trouble would it be to pop the corners out if you had to?!?

Stealthfire..i love that. I definitely want something different, but I might just wait until I get the fenders on to see how its all going to come together. I'll have to show him what you came up with if you dont mind =)

& we were going to mount the turn signals either in the bumper, or just buy some turn signal mirrors...so that would have covered any legal issues...

stealth the chop is great. but like meck had to do on his hood wouldnt there have to be a "bump" for the eyelids to go over the headlights? that what i mainly hated about meck's eyelids.. if they were able to come striaght and no bup up over the hood body line like sunfires i think it would look better. as for the corners i dont know if im feeling it.. but if thats what u want when u need to remove corners just remove the back prong off the corner bracket and prolly the corner braket too, then just pull out the headlights once u seperate the corners from them, then slide the corners out the front side and pull em out from like the headlights.. but it would be hard to reinstall i bet.. so practically i dont think it would work.. unless it wont be risked to have broken corners.. but could always just make that peice that covers them attached to the bumper and not fenders.. and just remove bumper before u remove headlights....

Stealthfire's chop reminds me of a tibby for some reason.....

Def. not, the first example looks like a focus or a prelude, like people stated before, and that would completely eliminate your turn signals which would be bad. And the second one also looks like a tiburon, like stated before.
