i guess i would say for this one (nothing against your previous work which i know must have been alot of work) to make it not as "busy" as the one on your red sc, but try to get it to more accentuate the origional lines of the SC, not create new ones, but thats just my opinion and good luck with whatever direction you decide to go wit hthe car

I disagree with the above poster. I think the modifications you made to your previous SC would look better in black because the adjusted body lines would look more subtle with the extremely dark paint disallowing the eye to pick up all the intricasies unless one was very close to the car. Black wheels with a polished lip on a black car could look mean as hell. I would let your creativity flow once again.

You should just mold your new design out of clay like they did the SC back in the day. You can't go wrong at that point.

Personally, I think a bolt on widebody kit if rather ugly for the smooth lines of the SC.

The widebody will need to contour the lines of the body in order for it to work. Otherwise, it looks like ugly.

It's like putting a square shaped flare on a round body. It just doesn't work. You need to put on a larger rounded flare to accentuate the round body.

Custom wide body in my opinion is the way to go.

Subtle and clean.

Something along these lines toned down a little would work well with the SC I think.

Hmm... I'd do what a couple of other guys on here have done (pulled the rear guards and fitted Vertex wider front guards)... looks much cleaner.

BUT if you feel like colour matching your wheels to the body it'd look sick with the guard pull and wider front guards.

Nice new purchase!

are those 18"s? n e ways i never liked the rear fender on that kit, it protrudes too much and makes an odd break in the body line. try doing something like this

even though its not an SC but you get the picture. clean, aggressive and still follows the smoooth body lines.
