As for the rear, your photoshopped version looks excellent! No complaints there
I really wasn't aiming for a point in the front. rather just to smooth things out and make the front more streamlined. The front currently has several openings for air intake to the radiator and resesses for the lights and hood. This needs to be smoothed out as much as possible. As of now, I have all of the grill blocked for winter. It will need to have some kind of adjustable opening for the summer months.
