Photoshopped Lumina - thoughts/ideas?

[Nevyn]

So I cooked this up as a test for what moon discs and rear skirts would look like on my car....other than the poor GIMP-ing, any thoughts/ideas/input?

I wanna see them for real.

Nevyn ,
A little difficult to see in the pic but the car seems fairly high off the ground.
Maybe some lowering or an under tray / deflector at the front to help the air on it travels around the car?
Just a thought.

Cheers , Pete.

If you're concerned about the looks, try not to break the most obvious lines.
Even if you don't scavenge trim from a scrape yard, simply painting in lines in the appropriate colors will help. Eg.

Planned list include a full undertray, as well as a "proper" front grill block. Currently, the bottom of my bumper is 100% closed with duct tape - and it's help winter warm-up significantly without getting close to overheating.

I can get free coroplast from the beer and soda distributors in town, which is awesome - I just need good weather to get out and start measuring/cutting.

That, plus a little bit of cleaning in the garage.

I had already figured on painting to match on the wheel skirts. I'm no so much concerned with looks, but it'll need to look "nice" or "professional" to pass muster with my wife.

Nevyn -

Pretty cool. From it's looks, the Lumina seems to be a pretty aero-clean car to start with. In the spirit of the Ford Fusion 999 :

I added the "flat rear spolier" and side skirts. I left the nose alone :
