Default 2nd gen 3000GT ideas and photoshop request

I am planning on switching to 2nd gen 3000GT sideskirts very soon and was hoping someone could photoshop them on my car.

here is an image to work with:



I also am going to switch to either a 2G stealth rear bumper or a complete 2G 3000GT rear end, since the bumper won't flow with the sideskirts anymore.

There are pros and cons to both.

3000GT Bumper
Pros
1) Looks slightly better IMHO
2) No more stealthibishi, most people would just assume the car is a 3000GT
3) Would flow the best with sideskirts


Cons
1) a lot more parts to buy, tailights, bumper, tailight caps, center section. Much more expensive because of those.
2) I like the R/T tails

2G stealth bumper
pros
1) Bumper cost may be slightly higher, but overall parts will be cheaper
2) Car will still be a stealth
3) keep r/t tails

cons
1) won't flow as well with the sideskirts
2) same stealthabishi problems.


Can someone photoshop both rears on? I need some opinions on which direction to go. No, I am not going with the stealth sideskirts, the 2G ones have no attitude IMHO and make the car look too much like an avenger.


I'll try to get some rear shots when i go home.

Thanks

I don't know which would look better, but you already have the "stealthabishi" problem with the shopping cart '99 rear spoiler. Just do what you think looks best in your own opinion.

x2

that spoiler of the 99 vr4 IMO does not flow good with your car.

But, hey! whatever makes you happy.

can you put up a picture of the side view? I could probably do it but with a straight side view

I actually have the sideskirts now, so I may just mount them and get you a side view of that.

I appreciate the help though, it is nice to have someone answer my question instead of providing input on something I didn't ask for.

Thanks
