Tell ya my opinion Sauvy.

You want to accent the large hood scoop. I'd do it by having some FAT tires stuffed under the rear. Maybe something like a 31" x 13"-14" wide pro street looking tire. But NOT sticking out of the fenderwells. The fronts would be nearly stock sized height and width and all rims would match.

Then a flame job on the front. One that is subtle fading from a mostly white at the leading faces of the bumper & hood scoop to a red/orange then to a *almost* ghost flame silver in color.

Also, I prefer a clean rear window but would take your logo and have it kinda big on the tailgate.

Rich

The paint cut and paste was just to give a rough idea. And rough it is..

Actually I do work closely with some motown industrial designers.
And we have one on staff sitting about 10ft from me at work.

I couldn't say exactly what he has under the hood (since I can't remember). Lets just say that his truck is STOUT!

Edit: If I remember correctly the scoop is functional.

I believe Stout is an understatement!

svt_2004 i can't remember what all he has but he has lifted a head or two from entirely to much power/boost for us mere mortals. So to answer your question yes it does serve a purpose as stated before intimidation!! Not sure if it is functional but no point in photoshopping it out, that is suavy's "mark"!

It wouldn't be the hood that would make it rice but the "HONDA"!! Besides there are several guys here who's hoods aren't functional, they aren't considered even remotely rice!

So I guess the worlds fastest (or is it quickest) Lightning is rice too??



Who cares, it's not your truck. You don't hear us calling your truck rice do you?
