I dont like the big scoop on the hood or the other intakes. Part of the attraction of the Riviera's design is how clean it is. Everything else that is being done to this car is cleaning it up further.

I may want a set as well. I am highly intrigued. I'm uncertain about what the front will end up looking like. Someone earlier - I think Corey - designed this front bumper in Photoshop:

Maybe you could do it like that.

just wondering. as im sure you know fiberglass can crack, and isnt quite as strong as urethane bumpers per say. do you plan on making a urethane bumper mold or what. very nice work i must say

Also from the pics its hard to tell. are you using fiberglass cloth or fiberglass mat

No plans on urethane. The material used is fiberglass mat.

I like the elliptical motif to the lower grill as well as the understated spoiler. Real RIV!

Keep going.
