Good news: believe it or not, I actually improved the EconoFinale F-150!!

Behold, the brand new Chop Top EconoFinale F-150!!! The new design reduces drag by an amazing 47.3%!!!

Okay, I'm done now. Really, I am.

LOL throw on some of Aus's scoops, they're affordable and would really flow well with the body lines

Edit: Woooo I own page three

Well thats a good starting point!

Now it only needs a rear-choptop and some wheels

ow forgot the airbags

ready to go!

While that blue one is indeed gorgeous, As archie said, it's evolved way beyond a Finale roadster to where it might as well be an entirely new body kit. Aside from the doors/scoops, there really isn't much Finale left in it.

I'd still drive it tho...

I changed the things that bothered me, and extended the front/rear fascia's down, while bringing the sides out instead of having them receed under the body... extended the nice body line from the side scoop over the wheel. Also added some AMG wheels for the hell of it.

I just like throwing out some ideas... unfortunately its not a very clean p/s that I did.

The car bears a striking resemblance to the European Ford Escort xr3i cabrio..
Maybe it is the colour_...

I think it is doable. a few added parts and some smoothing doesnt need a complete new kit. Use what you have got.. Here 's a pic I posted in the other thread: needs only 2 little pieces cut and eh some filling.

edit: original pic:

As the Finale's bodyparts are already fiberglass it would be rather easy to do some mods, smoothing or corrections...

hmm.... rice? and that blue car? since when was a functional side scoop, proportional wheels, and a 2-tone body with a car emblem rice?

the brown turd with 20" lambo wheels 1" of sidewall, and no airflow is so much better let me tell ya... lol

While that's a nice, smooth look I can tell you for sure that those tail lights won't pass muster over here since they won't be DOT approved and God knows they won't pass individual state requirements. They might be fine over on the other side of the pond, though.

Last time I checked saying a car literally looks like a piece of **** isn't immature
it's as much of an opinion as yours, saying it looks good
