Default who thinks about this?

ive been thinking about a large amount of custom for my escort,

stuff like painting the black grill the same colour as the car, and removing bumpers, etc all i was wondering is

who thinks the square type grill will look good on round type headlights??

if anybody could do a photoshop or something that would be great

I know its called an Escort, but that doesn't mean you have to pimp it out. Its an old skool ride, leave it that way.

a scort is a scort is a scort
a sq grill on a round light yuk
but i can think of heaps of other ideas to make her a one off

i have a pimped out ford only problem is she has a GVM od 6900kg
i took a ford trader and went to town

she was an old farm horse truck , rusted out body and all
she is now a stretched banana back tow truck with polished alloy sides 450 to 500 clearance lights ( i keep losing count ) and a few exstra little touches like a full holographic paint job ( not harlquin )
pimp your scort out , but dont copy some other ride
close your eyes and dream then scetch it out and go beserk

is yours a sedan or coupe

i customise about 3 to 4 cars or trucks a year
for a scort coupe i see rolled front and rear panels with conceiled bars a mean wing on the bum and a second wing over the rear window
lose the badges and clean up the lines
the paint would be monotone or metalic silver with a silver holo flec over the top
mono tone is where all the chrome and trim is color matched to the car
a color matched mesh grill and possably conceiled lights

on a white or silver car i use water clear leds fitted into the body
when they are off they become hard to see but when on they light up very well

i can post pics of this efect its wild to see and it even impresses to police
