Hey check this out,

Just a quick one. Are your windscreen wipers broken? They appear to be located higher than usual.

Needs more taken off the top, so its more flat against the car...
Also needs some taken off the bottom. |

Woah that front bar is HUGE. IMO to make it look decent, your gunna haveto have some pretty bulky side skirtz and some big MOFO rims.

the car looks near stock height, and the front bars close enough to the ground as it is :P
if the bar was the same, but smaller, it'd look alright, but yeah.

I can't say I like the front bumper either. It looks too big and chunky. It might suit a 4WD but it doesn't suit a Falcon (this coming from the bloke with 4WD spec suspension)

Well, I have to say top marks for trying something new, as we need more people doing new things, I can see where your trying to go, and what EFFalcon posted up looks ummm well, sorry its still crap, much better than your orig pic, but still crap. Stop doing the meth or crack or whatever it is your taking and perhaps start with something a little less bulky. Don't get me wrong I like the idea of customisation but thats just plain fugly

I think given the depth of that bumper (I almost wrote blimper?) your best bet woule be to pull it up over the headlights and fair the top edge straight into the bonnet.... looks great with snoflakes though!

the bar with the top section cut off, and made narrower.
(all of which is acheivable) [img]hxxp://www.deleted link/pics/mycar/photoshops/prado.jpg[/img]

Its got a bit of potential if its all done correctly. Bit of a shave and chop here and there and you will have a very uniqe EA there mate.
Good luck and well dont for doing something original.
