I would like to find front fenders and the front bumper like the one on this car, i would also like to add fender skirts and continental kit, let me know your opinion on theas choises,

[87mefull]

Less trim the better, but thats my opinion. 2 doors can be really slick looking cars if done up right. 79 bumpers sound like a good idea but are tough to find but you might get lucky on ebay.

[Dave84]

ya i had the chance to get a '79 bumper at the wreckers i work at, but i waited to long and a day i wasent there the the car it was on got crushed, it was a nice bumper to:bawling: :bawling:

[88MercWagon]

I think skirts and a Conti kit would be interesting.

[FatNasty]

I would go with the '79 bumper but not the fenders

[MrMarquis]

I say all of the above!

How low are you thinking about bringing the fender skirts?

[interceptor1985]

I like the fender vents...But thats just me:)

[Dave84]

im thinking bringing the skirts about half way down the wheel, ill edit a pic in pain to show what i want to do,,,

If you're thinking about it, just do it! There may be only five people on this particular site who think it's a good idea, or there may be 500. I personally think it sounds awesome, but go with your gut.

would sombody be able to re-photoshop my pic with nicer skirts and fender vents and a continental kit?

[MrMarquis]

If you could post the original picture...I could do the skirts...I could only do the continental kit if you had a side view of it.

[MrMarquis]

Coolness. I'll get it done for you as soon as possible...But I need to go to sleep for school tomorrow.

[Dave84]

ok thanks man:merk:

[88MercWagon]

If your interested, I've seen a few box TC's with fender skirts that come down even with the body on eBay. I'm not sure if the denders are the same shape, but they may work for what you're trying to do.

[85crownHPP]

personally I think all external continental kits look goofy... and from the perspective of trying to mess with the wheels skirts are a PITA.
Whats not to love about the 79 style though :2up:

[MrMarquis]

Here you are; fresh from the shop. :merk:

[Dave84]

wow....thanks man looks better then the one i attempted...

[MrMarquis]

Not a problem.

[Blaze86Vic]

I would suggest making it removable so that you can change wheels without dropping the rear axle.

[Dave84]

oh ya im not welding them right to the car

[Grand Marquis GT]

No on the conti kit and flares.

Yes to the 79 stuff :D

[Dave84]

well thanks for the input so far hopefully i can find some of this stuff probley wont find a continental kit to easly tho

[Nathan in MI]

One other thought i had...the trunk latch is in the middle of the trunklid, right? How is that going to work with a continental kit?

[Dave84]

well the continental kit would have a latch to flip back to gain accses to the key hole,

[Mr. Land Yacht]

my opinion is that Dave's Merk is awesome! :D

[rapider86merc]

The front fenders and bumper would be nice, but imo id leave the the fender skirts to the pontiac parisenne's

[turbo2256b]

holy zombie thread batman!

[Brown_Muscle]

this may be a semi-dead thread but just wanted to get my *2cents* in. I think the fender vents are bad arse...bumpers are nice too, not a fan of the continental kit tho
