I think it would happen if enough people had finished a car like this but it looks like the future is all about the aventador

Totally agreed and already we are seeing the Murcie body kits disappearing just like the Countach and Diablo kits did before.  The bar is simply reset and the consumer choice changes.

If you wanted to go the way that Sam suggested, you could probably use the section from the G28 rear bumper / wheel arches and modify the rear bumper.  I understand that you don't want to go this route (don't blame you) but it might be an acceptable solution for someone else. 

It's too bad that someone hasn't taken the right combination of G28 and OEM parts and created a body kit that combines the best of both worlds.  Generally these changes are made for a single build and everyone else has to decide to either accept the G28 "as is" or reapply the same changes over and over again.   :-\

No it would just make it less accurate which isn't what I want :S
The wheel is supposed to appear as it is forward of center of the wheel well, I think cutting that part off would help with that and make the shape more accurate. I think IKR mentioned the changes that are needed to be made but forget where he said that.

Would you think maybe the best thing to do is to add on to the oem bumper in the wheel arch area?

BIG thanks! I'll be doing this in the next couple weeks and was wondering how the OE bumper will work...

Yea I really like the oem wheel arch, the g28 just doesn't have that look. I think cutting that part off as shown in the pics wouldn't be enough.
Thanks Chris!

Someone with a set of OEM quarters should pull a partial mold of just the wheel arch so the G28 guys can buy it and graft it into the G28 quarters.  This would save you guys a lot of time and you would know that the wheel arches are "right".

Car is looking good Tallon!

Alright, here's the oem splashed rear bumper on a g28.
You can see some of the wheel well needs to be opened up and also, the width of the bumper isn't quite as wide as the body so hopefully there can be some flex to make it work. I don't know how much I can do without having oem taillights, you can't really do anything to the rear of the car without the tail lights in my opinion. The placement of grills, bumper, exhaust cover would all have to be modified when I get the tail lights I imagine. I don't even bother with the hatch yet which then connects to the batwings. All because I don't have one part. That's pretty much how it goes lol
But I'm very happy with how the bumper looks vs the g28 bumper.

Tallon, finish your car! Take some hotties for a ride, and make sure your ex sees you! She'll be very jealous!
P.S. My wife has been bitching at me for the time I spend in the garage.

A break up and a broken heart eh?  Nothing a good strip club can't cure...for a a moment anyway. ;) Sorry to hear it bro. But like they say, "one man's loss is another man's gain".  Except i assume in this case, change the "man's" to "woman's".  After the heartache, enjoy being single, take a vacationto someplace exotic and live free if but for a moment.
