If you would of put them behind the rear wheel but horizontal instead of parallel. kinda imitating the front it just might work .

like em

Looks good. Design-wise it mirrors the angle of the rear window, and optically it seems the shorten and tighten the rear of the car- which is great,
good touch on the back, like it.

You should do a vented hood instead, I think that will look tough.

They look a little off to me. I think if they were a little bigger, and molded into the bumper (like rear of the vents on the example bumper).

I dont think it works.
It looks pep-boy-ish kind of.

Needs to be bigger and have that curve to the end of it.

If you're going to imitate the Wald look, then you'll need to recess the vents a little and have the bumper tuck in behind the vent, just like the Wald. Having side skirts with black inserts would also help tie the look together.

Not a fan of the look so far, though.

Not really feeling it. Like everything else about the car though. Might flow a bit better if you were to flip them from one side of the car to the other so the slant follows the direction of the wheel opening better.

crappy photoshop
