front-end make-over for new Challenger

bkrrt · #1 01-29-2007, 04:11 PM

I didn't like the new Challengers front grill setp so I did a little makeover.
I guess what I don't like about it is that it looks like a toned down version of
the truck grill or something.
What do you think?

He also removed the second pair of headlights, or more accurately he moved them down into the lower grill part,which for me ruins the look and makes it look like a Camaro, but removing the crosshair part is fine and makes it look more like the '70 Challenger. One of my main reasons for prefering the Challengers over the Cudas was the better look of 4 headlights over just 2, but the only year the Cuda got 4 headlights, '71,is by far my favorite and is one of the most aggressive and best looking cars ever. If I were to get a Cuda it would have to be a '71 and my favorite Challenger is the '70 by far.

yeah youre right it does look way better with the 4 headlights now that i look at them side by side.

I like it better with no lights at all in the bumper. I like a cleaner look.

The 3rd shot looks uncannily like a 'cuda!
Not bad work, but I personally prefer the look of the concept- it's more of a merger of old with new rather than a clone of the original.
