The Aventador is the overall look that I'm after, the door panels will look somewhat like that (I'll try)
The large windshield laid back and shorter sloping nose will help with that look

Hey Terry, GREAT JOB, I love them all, RBS IS LOOKING BETTER THAN FIRST MOVIE
Adding super chop does make a big difference, looks more Lamboish

Edit: if you add the notch nose of the Lambo sample, that's what should look like

Pretty good Terry, yes 2010 Mazda 3

Photoshop RBS, the door window line will be dropped lower 2", the whole car dropped 1",
wheel wells will be cut 1" higher, so the overall body will look slimmer and lower.
Windshield is 6" longer and into the front hood.
Font fenders will have a little kick up around wheels (about 1-1/2").
I'll lose sun roof on super chop, but that's okay.

OOPS, I didn't explain it to well, before I had the window line raised flowing to rear hips, I just wanted to lower the whole line, not just the door. no steps

EDIT: Yes Terry, the rest is looking great, the short Lamboish nose is awesome, side by side pics the stock nose actually looks goofy on RBS It's a good choice

Alright, apparently you were right Johnny Boy, ain't seen the thread in a little while. I literally haven't heard anything about the Aventador front end, nor have I seen the new vertical hinges in action yet.

Very impressed.

Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan.

Today I arrived at RBS place and Clynt was already there ready to play and getting started to finish welding the front end
Shortly after that Clynt's son came riding in and it was show & tell time





After that they rode off into the sunset leaving me alone with no welding done




That's okay because Romeo and Patrick showed up Just some fun shots







So end of day, nothing much to show for, just fun shots with buddies   

EDIT: I did get the Lambo hinges painted and ready to be installed for the last time.

Patrick managed to change shirts between the first pic he was in and the second. Jinkies.
