Personally, I think what you had already done with the bumper was fine. With the addition of an LED strip it would’ve made some for cool sidelights while maintaining the look
Where the metal rod is, it's a perfect place for led housing. It would look really really good. But whatever you decide on, i'm sure you will make it look fantastic anyway. Wishing you all the best man. 💃
Be careful when widebodying the car because id i remember correctly you barely managed to squeeze the car inside the garage because of how wide the car was… just a friendly reminder ❤️
have you thought about getting the raw 3d model of the whole bodykit straight from the game? it could've been used as a proper mold. cars in most wanted were laser scanned so it shouldn't be that far off the real car, all it would need is some smoothing in 3d software.
If your planning on having the rest of the kit 3d scanned. Maybe you could perfect one side of the bumper. Have that half scanned and on the computer they can flip and join the model so its 100% symmetrical.
It's a good idea man! I might give that a go, the only thing that might prevent it happening is funding as the 3D scanning and printing is pretty expensive now I've looked into it 😅😭
So i booted the game up with the xbox 360 models so the details are a bit sharper and that bit you cut off from the bumper looks like a rectangular metal tube. It does not sit flush with the front of the bumper nor is it bent to follow the curvature of it either. It just looks like it goes inside both sides of that gap diagonally (when looking from above) and there's the mesh behind it. The finish does not seem to be chrome, just a flat metal, although i am not sure if its meant to be chrome or not given the limitations of the game at the time. So up to you how want to tacklet it, its just a pair of straight tubes that are somehow stuck inside both sides of the gaps they're in, like its trying to pretend it is a single support beam across the whole bumper. In hindsight, could have kept the bits you cut off, trimmed it to shape to resemble it and just sprayed a matte silver finish when painting later on
I was going to suggest he get the game but if you've already got it installed on PC with high res models you should take some screen shots for him, would only take 5 minutes. Maybe paint the car a bright colour so it shows all the detail, or a video of it spinning 360.
Today was a fun day and i booted the game up and did close inspection by debug cam and it is a metal piece for the missing place i can send the pics if you want to
Ура новая серия, как же я ждал ее бро. Выпускай чаще видосы, можно вообще сделать по типу, моя жизнь, и снимать каждый день что происходит и как, ну или 2 видоса в неделю
