Yeah, I know, but if Aerohead has said it once he's said it like a gazillion trillion times. Forget the forebody when using Thee Template™, (Cue Gregorian chant music) just pay attention to the back cause that is where the most significant gains can be made if you're gonna modify a car/truck/thingamajig. If you're going to design something from scratch, you'll need help from something other than the template to help you. But from what I understand from reading a bunch in here, most front ends are pretty good to begin with on the modern auto. And Sledge Hammer Girl.
