Talk about a glass ceiling?!?!

The people over at CDC said I could put this up to make you all drool.

Love the grill and the airdam. The glass roof and tail and spectacular (subtle and classy). The whole design is subtle but agressive, without being ricey.

Make mine in black!

That's pretty cool. Definately good to see a billet grill. From a designer's standpoint, I have to mention how cool the photochopped words on the ground are.

That is a sweet looking ducktail... The glass roof is definitely an expensive modification.

That ducktail looks NICE!! That chop almost reminds me of Doug's centerfires. Though the centerfire will always own any other chop. :headbang:

It's not bad, but I think the front air dam makes it look like a freight train.

I'm not a fan of the hood, but the glass roof and rear scoops look great! I might just have to drive up to CDC and look at one in person.

They can nickname it "the cow catcher"

Chops often exaggerate things. I suspect the "cow catcher" will be more subtle on the real car. But I didn't mind it. It says, "get out of my way".

I was thinking more along the lines of a snowplow, but freight train is even better.

I think the ducktail is the only thing I like about it. The rims are just UGLY, the glass top......not so great, and the front air dam just doesn't fit well. Just my opinion........

Does anyone have an idea how much aftermarket glass roofs cost (in other cars)? Just rough?

Rear spoiler looks good. Front grill also looks nice but the chin looks like John Kerry's chin, a little bit too much hanging which to me makes the car look almost too front heavy. Hood scoop is too large and too far back. Personally I would like to see a tac in the hood like the old gto's, since there is no functional use for a spoiler, just stripe it. Raise the chin up a bit to make it more streamlined... Oh well, we all have our preferences. B) B) B)

Love the grill love ducktails but that one is just a little to little chin is too big I prefer louvers on the quarter window. The glass roof is nice but would cost to much and be hot. the hood scoop is just wrong in so many ways.
