of grill, bumper and side trim edits. So, I offer the following, as usual done just to see what they look like.
As found:
With mild dechroming:
Altered side trim and front bumper/grill work:
Different side trim and front grill/bumper combination:
Lowered cowl, pancaked hood plus side trim and grill/bumper edits:
Increased ride height, eliminated side trim and yet more grill/bumper offerings:
This is not a car that I would have modified from stock but did feel that it would benefit from edits that made the front grill/bumper combination less massive and simplified the side trim. My intent was to create a simpler, more compelling automobile.
Did I succeed?
Enjoy!

"My intent was to create a simpler, more compelling automobile.
Did I succeed?" YES! My favorite is the fifth photo. Your edit of ride height, dechrome and front bumper treatment is perfect!

@perrone1 I agree that pic 5 best achieves what you were trying to do.
