Good feedback - keep it coming

Papa13 · 02-19-2009, 10:03 PM

Those eyelids are nice, but need to be thinner. They are to thick and cover the top if the halos. Which is not so good in my book. Should make them so you can see the entire halo. I know you all could make it happen though.

Smallbodybimmer · 02-19-2009, 11:24 PM

My suggestion is to get some guys with decent PS skills to put together some decent views and angles in various colors. You would get a ton more feedback than the prototype sketches and the one decent photochop floating around.

And remember, less is more guys...

346 or e90? I'm not too sure the bulge would work on our cars, but it would make for an interesting PS.

e90 i want the power bulge without the vents

I've always liked the Power dome better then the v-35 style hood. The inward vent doesn't look as mean in my opinion.

Plus, option A-D were all the inward vent, never gave us a chance to pick.

Also, another question, why is Vorsteiner having trouble making a hood for the e82 when they have made countless for the e90/e92?

Because the 1 is a lower production car that is not selling as well - fewer potential buyers

SV Concepts II · 03-05-2009, 02:19 PM

Still can't wait to see the pieces in person.

wu2x · 03-05-2009, 02:46 PM

Are they developing prototype pieces? In this thread, it was stated that they needed commitments before developing anything. Was that reached?

SV Concepts · 03-05-2009, 04:21 PM

There seems to be a change of heart - we'll probably get the lip and MAYBE the hood developed without deposits

soupy · 03-16-2009, 07:17 PM

Hey JL, any updates on the hood? Mine got chipped hard (with dents) this past week so I'm quite motivated on just getting a new hood installed instead of repair/respray. (PDR won't work well where it got hit and our hoods are aluminum).

I concur ... exciting news. I will try to have a prototype on our car by Bimmerfest (just like last year with the 335)

wu2x · 03-17-2009, 05:21 PM

nice!!

SV Concepts · 03-18-2009, 02:59 PM

It's happening, guys! Finding a 1 series to do the prototyping on

JL

Upgrade+ · 03-18-2009, 03:23 PM

Hey Jonathan, I just wanted to say it was pretty cool that you were spot lighted in the Bimmer Mag. I was reading it this weekend and didn't put 2 and 2 together until I saw them mention Jlevi. It was a very good read and a bit inspirational for someone wanting to start their own business and empire. What do you have planned after finishing school? Oh, I was laughing when I read that they said you weren't "annoying." Good to see your just a regular guy. Ok, back on topic...lip please!!

Sweet. Let me know if you need to borrow my car for a bit, I'm not far from you guys.

Wait, why are you using your 1?
