Bodykit ideas for Vibe?

Don't get your hopes up too much; I'm not gonna build anything. I'm working up some automotive illustrations for grins and I figured I'd design a couple or three bumper fascias for the Vibe while I'm at it. I'm just curious as to what sort of look people would like to see in a body kit for the Vibe.I've been playing Need for Speed Undeground lately and it's starting to rub off on me, so at least one of the ideas I come up with will be pretty ricey. I'll post the drawings up here once they're done.

you should team up with the folks here that are making kits and see if you guys can't make a few different ones.btw Need For Speed Underground 2 is on the way.

Any idea off the top of your head who all are making the kits?And also I finished a quick line drawing for a bumper and side moulding kit. I'll probably adjust the spacing on the vertical pieces between the foglights; I'm not entirely happy with the placement on those.

Thats not a bad looking one... How about a kit like the GT-R kit?

wicked1981: I don't need to draw the GT-R kit because the GT-R is right there for anybody to look at. I don't much care for that one anyway. The GM showcar that had me jumping up and down, strangely enough, was the Vibe FX. It was mild, but just different enough to set it apart. Mainly, they got rid of those little spearhead things on the fenders for that car (I dispise those two little spikes for some irrational reason).Looking at my car and trying to come up with ideas based on it, I keep coming up with very angular looks that play off the fender flares and blocky body lines. I'd like to see a good-looking kit based on some wild curves, that still manages to capture it's Vibe-ness. I don't go much for kits that totally change the look of the car, especially on cars that don't have the lines to support said look (like a 4-door Honda with some sort of fighter-jet intake tacked on the front). I think I'll try to do a curvy-looking kit next, it'll be a real challenge.

This one is slightly more finished, but it's still basically a line drawing. I blocked parts of it in with different colors to show the different surface materials on it.

I know I said I don't really care for some of the really extreme kits out there, which I described as a "Honda with some sort of fighter-jet intake tacked on the front," but my little brother came over to help move furniture and he made me do it. I still don't care for it much, but I'll let y'all look at it anyway. I still got one more in me after this.You may have noticed these look like they're all the same picture with different front ends and side skirts pasted on. Well, essentially they are. Once I get a few opinions I will do a finished picture from one of these.

Actually I kinda like this one, maybe a little less exagerated in the cented grill but as a while I'm kinda diggin' it!!

I like this one because its the whole bumper not just the lower part.

Mavrik · Post by **Mavrik** » Wed Oct 20, 2004 1:51 am

Thanks for the comments, but, uh, tell me which ones you're talking about too, please.

rcasciola · Post by **rcasciola** » Wed Oct 20, 2004 3:29 pm

Wow... those sketches just put a HUGE smile on my face. Very impressive.

mine was in reference to the superrice pic. I know you probably didn't like that one since you said you did it for someone else, but I though (removed) was pretty bad-(removed). make one like that with sides and a back, and even a new spoiler design would be cool and I will buy it!

i just looked again and I like the vented one too. that was cool, but i think i prefer the superrice design a little more
