I haven't seen or heard much of these. I don't see why people would be choosing Ferrari style noses over them.

What are the quality of these like? And what do they look like installed?

The only one I rly like the looks of is the style #1.. Can anyone post pics of one installed onto a car plzzz?

Also wouldn't mind seein #2. I'm more interested in the looks of #1 tho. No need for #3 pics, already seen installed and can't say Im a fan lol :/

Click on the first pic.

All those vents kind of make it look like a 4th-gen WS6. Not bad...

As far as quality goes... If they are like the scoops I got from JimmyS then they are going to be top notch... my scoops are solid and consistent... no thin spots or bubbles that I can tell.

Edit: Sweet... Jim, I just saw your PONTIAC color conversion thingy on your site... is this the same method that you used for your original green pieces?

I was toying around with variations of the "Munson" nose for my car.
(Original photo from GKDINC)
The strut in the big grill opening is removed and the opening slightly enlarged per Gary's modification.

No "nostrils" and revised lower openings:

So far this is my favorite.

Space between "nostrils" narrowed, standard lower openings:


With standard "nostrils" and no lower openings:


With "nostrils" and revised lower openings:


With "nostrils", standard lower openings, with stock turn signals deleted and round driving lights:


Being fiberglass, the nose is relatively easy to modify in a lot of different ways.

With "nostrils" flipped" 180 degrees and moved down slightly:

(Don't think I like this at all )

With "nostrils" flipped 180 degrees and everything moved downward:

(Hmmmmm...looks a little better than above, but still not sure...)

With no "nostrils" , revised lower openings and grill opening moved downward as above:

I think I'm beginning to like this look

This is the best I can do right now, but also bear in mind that this is the Munson "Big Mouth" design.


Here is also a slightly "overhead" view of the same nose:
