The Ultimate SL-C Exterior Body Modification Thread

THE ULTIMATE SL-C EXTERIOR BODY MOD Thread!!!...

I wanted to start a thread containing links and pictures regarding all of the body alterations that have ever been done (or that ever could be done) to the body of the SL-C (excluding headlights and taillights, see my other “ http://www.gt40s.com/forum/slc-clubhouse/41520-slc-headlight-tail-light-swap-potential-thread.html ” thread for discussion about non-factory/non-original SL-C headlights & taillights…).

What kinds of Body Mod’s have you guys thought about doing/considered doing to the SL-C?

PHOTO’S STRONGLY ENCOURAGED (real or Photoshopped)!!!...


(P.S. Why am I so interested in this particular topic, you might ask?... Well, I don’t really know, to be honest. For reasons I don’t fully understand, I’ve just always been the most interested in exteriors of cars, as opposed to other aspects of cars. It just seems to be my favorite part about cars in general for some reason…)

(P.S.S. As usual, make no mention of the UK “A” car, as any pictures/mentions of that car will be deleted. It's a bit of a sore spot, you might say…)
 
I’ll start with this:
The following are links to many currently on-going (at least as of the beginning of 2014) SLC build threads… They are permalinks that will take you right to pictures and descriptions of these builders’ bodywork alterations, done for various function/design reasons. I’m sure that I missed some, so please feel free to add the ones that I have missed to this list if you want…
(It looks like Mesa is winning, so far, for having the most heavily modified SLC body out there right now :) )

What My SLC Mod’s would/could will be like:






Yes, it’s kindof based on/copied from the Ferrari F50, but an F-50'ed SL-C looks pretty sweet, I think?... What do you think?


I’m excited to see/read about your guys’ mods…
