Bumpin Black Q45t

[MiniMan]

18" BBS rims and chopped bumpers... IMO, chopped bumpers look PHAT!

Just don't be gettin into fender benders :pface !

I dig it!

Id like to see the wheel base shunk just a little.

BTW that Q is on ebay, and its UBER low mileage of 47k...

My skills aren't nearly up to par with Corey's

From the side the chopped bumpers prolly look cool but from the front I bet its hiddeous... Might worth a photoshop... ?

Great example of why bright metal B pillar chops the side window space.

totally agree,it kills the flowing lines and visual length of the greenhouse,Infiniti got it right from the factory,as this is one of my favorite views of this automobile-elegant!

There's the original. You can see I also shaved the door handles, adjusted the exposure and removed the stripe down the side.

I chromed the B pillar to see what it'd look like... I'll post up a version without the chromed pillar in a couple.

I kinda dig the long wheel base and with the wheels looking so close to the front and rear of the car. I couldn't like the styling more!

Here's the link to it.

Wes, I got 3/4 done the front view using the same car. I stretched the bumper vertically quite a bit and slapped in a home made horizontal grill. IMO, looks good. I'll see what I can do tonight though, but I gotta jetter right now.

Is it just me or does that look kinda Audi-ish?

[elwesso]

I really like the smoothed out door handles look PRIME..... It does kinda look more audi-ey...

[MiniMan]

BTW, I didn't lower it either... but the 18s fill the gap quite well and really emphasize a more aggressive styling.

Everything up to the rear of the car looks very Audi-ish... just noticed that now.

Nooo!!! What is a G50 without giant silver door handles!

[MiniMan]

Don't ask about the grill/lights... they're "ideas gone wrong..." if you will. :pface I was pretty much just looking for a way to express some ideas I had... turns out they weren't too good. I still want to try shoving some headlights in there that are a little more "square".

Wow! Nice touch on the grille! Q45 meets XJR

[MiniMan]

Thanks Jesda! If you like that you may like it with some Audi A8 headlights as well: Link.

Im not sure what to think... it looks cool but it doesnt really fit the personality...

[MiniMan]

Not at all... this is the point where it ceases to look like the original car. I think I'm going to start doing more realistic photoshops... ones that have relevance to the real world and stand a significant chance of one day being implemented.

nice...very nice and I also thought Audi instantly when I saw the frist pic yesterday.

so where do I sign the line....I want one.

[Jesda]

Now thats sharp. Nice job 'shopping the lights.

[MiniMan]

Thanks guys. I'll be looking at my Q tommorow (ETA to Vegas: 10 hours) and we can see then how realistic then it'd be to chop the bumpers. Sounds like mine are pretty thrashed anyways... they'd probly make for a good project. Lots of time, just no car!

Keep your fingers crossed and maybe I'll be able to have the Q fixed too so we can bring both cars up... doubtful, but you never know.
